The Brights
Apparently a Bright is:
A bright is a person who has a naturalistic worldview
A bright's worldview is free of
supernatural and mystical elements
The ethics and actions of a bright
are based on a naturalistic worldview.
Richard Dawkins says that the phrase was coined because 'atheist' was seen to be a 'down' word like 'homosexual'. Therefore 'Bright', like 'Gay'.
