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.

There is a short news report on on the first link describing what the video is about. And here - http://www.cocore.org/last_presentation.php - is the webpage about the video.

The speaker in the video says that if she could wave a magic wand and end religion that she wouldn't do it. She cites that religion provides people comfort and has done good things as her reasons.
