The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Excellent NPR piece on Atheism. We're catching on!

An interesting piece on NPR about atheists. I think it is very favorable towards atheists. At one point they cover the "atheists in foxholes" comment, and interview an NPR reporter who apologies extensively after he realizes how offensive it is to us. It aired yesterday, Friday December 16th

Also, Sam Harris adds some excellent commentary about how the media is excitedly "waiting for the permission" to start bringing atheism to the forefront

*EDIT* I also found another video challenge on this dude's blog, very similar to what we are doing: http://freaktochic.typepad.com/freaktochic/2006/12/the_godfight_pr.html
