The distribution of their videos is supposed to spread it though, they hope to create a movement so no future church official could be save etc. Their discussions about if this would even make any sense and trying to find out who really holds power in the church (& the weak points), and if there is even a way to commit a “perfect assassination” of such high profile targets, would be the series.
They waver though. Through failed argument they arrive at a point where they think it’s a good idea to plan their assassinations. The discussions about ethics and how they could actually execute their plan in a way that really increases well-being (they think there is a way to do it), i.e. without ending up with the theists uniting and rationalists outlawed. Their ultimate goal is getting rid of supernaturalism and especially using it for oppression (which would be good, I think most would agree). Having read about ethics a bit though, they come to the conclusion that killing some people would be outweighed by the danger to the future of humanity their victims pose.
They could consider deception, too. Stage a high-level hidden religious war, more focused than current religious terrorism, in the hope that society would blame religion if they see that all religions are guilty etc.
yes, basically.
