Brights

The-Brights.net

I'm a bright, in that I have a naturalistic view of the world and don't consider any supernatural explanation for any of it. This doesn't mean that I wouldn't, under stress, wish for something or "pray" for an outcome. This is apparently human nature. Oops.. wrong link. This is better...

The use of "bright" is not meant to have a meaning of "you aren't a naturalistic atheist, therefore you are NOT bright", but rather just be a noun... this hasn't stopped theists from accusing brights of being elitist -- the correlation between intelligence and atheism isn't proven as far as I know...
