The Brights

 They're a species of Humanist. Their latest bulletin just arrived in my email.

Who are The Brights?

  • We are participants in an international internet constituency of individuals. All of us have a naturalistic worldview, free of supernatural or mystical elements.
  • A Bright's ethics and actions are based on a naturalistic worldview.
  • The Brights aspire to an egalitarian civic vision. We want citizens who have a naturalistic worldview to be accepted as full participants in civil society

Definitions:
A "super" (noun) is a person whose worldview includes supernatural and/or mystical elements.
A "bright" (n.) is a person whose worldview is naturalistic (no supernatural and mystical elements).
A "Bright" is a bright who has registered at this website in support of the egalitarian civic vision of the Brights movement.

What is the Challenge?

Currently, the naturalistic worldview is insufficiently expressed within most cultures - even politically and socially repressed. To be a Bright is to participate in a movement to address the situation.

There is a great diversity of persons who have a naturalistic worldview. Some are members of existing organizations that foster a supernatural-free perspective, but far more are not associated with any formal group or label. Under the broad umbrella of the naturalistic worldview, participants in the constituency of Brights can undertake social and civic actions designed to influence a society otherwise permeated with supernaturalism.

This website registers brights into the constituency (of Brights) and serves as a communications hub for actions that align with the aims and principles of the Brights movement.
