Bright?
Something in the paper today about a new name for the conglomeration of humanists--------atheists and agnostics and non-thiests of all kinds and descriptions.
The new name is "Brights." Supposed to be a more positive name for non-theists. So if asked if you are a believer, you can say "No, I am a Bright"--------and there will be supposedly fewer negative connotations and fewer unnecessary confrontations. Anyone heard of this movement? What do you think about it? |

Rational BAC, there have been many threads on this subject in Secular Lifestyle. See, for instance:
The Brights! A new classification. Dennett - Brights & Politics The Unifiers or the Brights? I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread. Feel free to participate in any of the other discussions. Thank you, livius drusus Moderator - GRD |
