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. Buy any item on AMAZON, and we'll use the small commission to help improve critical thinking. Buy a Laptop -- Apple

I nominate...
Eddie Izzard to take the place of George Carlin as the official comedian of atheism. All in favor?
Nobody I know was brainwashed into being an atheist.

I didn't know Atheists liked having 'official' things...but I know I likes me some Eddie Izzard!
Eddie is a hoot, but if we have to have a comedic mascot, I nominate Lewis Black.

Christianity: A disgusting middle eastern blood cult, based in human sacrifice, with sacraments of cannibalism and vampirism, whose highest icon is of a near naked man hanging in torment from a device of torture.
I like Eddie Izzard, he's funny.
OK, well he can be the unofficial comedian of atheism then.
He's on tour in the U.S. right now, and I have tickets to see him later this month.

Why Believe?
I loves me some Eddie Izzard!
I was just playing. Not really picking on you, Geirj
He actually came to Atlanta within the last month. I heard about it the day after. I wish I had only known.
Funny routine.
There are also other great clips of his work so if you liked this
Google/search engine/u tube and yes, he'd be a great official
comedian of atheism.... though I noted his fly was open.
Now, is there a comedienne ?
How about Doug Stanhope? ...he's mildly amusing in a dying Pope kind of way.

Let's not have an "official"
Let's have the best of everyone - here's a few that Americans mightn't be too familiar with but shone (and shine) the light for many of us on the other side of the pond, gleaned from a quick trawl through YouTube:

I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
