WHAT? This community is for those who live in the real world, be they
atheists, secular humanists, freethinkers, skeptics or anyone else with a naturalistic worldview. A positive-sounding, stigma-free umbrella term was coined in 2003 to unite such people:
Brights.
* A Bright is a person who has a naturalistic worldview.
* A Bright's worldview is free of supernatural and mystical elements.
* The ethics and actions of a Bright are based on a naturalistic worldview.
That's it: if you meet these criteria, you are a Bright.
___________________________________
WHY? Atheists etc. have a bad reputation in today's
overwhelmingly religious and superstitious society. More than 50% of Americans have a “negative” or “highly negative” view of people who do not believe in God. We are perceived as
arrogant, joyless, narrow-minded and supercilious, and our opinions are neglected. Meanwhile, religion, new-ageism and so forth are in the ascendent. In this climate, it is important that we nonbelievers are able to feel positive about our worldview.
This new group will hopefully:
* Unite deviantART's Brights.
* Create and promote artwork which is atheistic, anti-[religious/superstitious/supernaturalist] or about science/nature. (Gratuitously offensive work may be rejected)
* Be a positive force in the dA community.
* Make atheists seem less evil!
* Make us all less depressed about the religious majority on dA.
