As an atheist, how can I object to this idiot's movement? "Atheist" is a fine word that says it all. "A-" as in not, and "theist", as in someone having an active belief in a supernatural being. Not having an active belief in God doesn't make one part of a political movement that marches on DC in a country that doesn't care who or what we are and doesn't bother us or impose a Papal tithe so what's the point of this and his stupid term?
What signs shall we carry? "Non-Believer" "I Doubt it" "Still not Sold" "Nope" "Strike me Dead".
"Brights" sounds like something a feel-good term for someone with remedial skills. Also rude driving behavior. But doesn't define the philosophy of the person - it hides it. This term adds nothing to nothingness.

You hit the nail on the head. The name is so harmless, that it doesn't convey what it truly means.
So, when someone says, "I'm bright and gay.", they are actually saying, "I'm an athiest and a homosexual". In the PC world, controlling the language is key to controlling the people.
