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.

Yeah, I have to agree with that! Knickers knotting, as much, if he was invoking say some other deity ?!

Yeah. This guy's actual remarks werent disrespectful. Was there a unwritten rule of tradition or something in this ?

This reminds me, I have a shirt¬tail relation of mine, (don't claim him) true story, who was once asked to say grace at the table of his sister-in-laws' house. He was to have said, I quote: "Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub; thanks for the grub, Yay, god'" As a result, he was never asked to again (true story).

Who the fuck does he think

You don't get to monopolize a venue. If you offer a public ceremony which is not public business and is simply superfluous then it is not required. If praying is not required for the atheist then it isn't required at all. If it is going to be open to prayer, then the ceremony must be open to all to do some sort of superfluous "opening" as well, otherwise skip the crap and get to business.
