I'm so glad that this piece of memetic engineering didn't take off. Trying to change your group's description from atheist to bright in some sort of marketing type campaign... meh. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who can call themself a bright, in a real life (face to face) conversation, is a wanker who takes their own belief system way to seriously.
Are you a Bright?

Re: Are you a Bright?
I caght Richard Dawkins out , he claims to practice Zen meditation.
But Zen meditation has a purpose, enlightenment, (if one is practicing zazen or Zen meditation simply as a breathing or calming exercise, they are not practicing Zen) yet there is no empircal evidence enlightenmehnt exists, so Dawkins is accepting one form of faith while saying God belief has no empircal evidence so can not be accepted by "bright" people.
