Creating A Brights Constituency
Tags: Nature
I have mentioned this organization before and I want to remind you that it is still out there for the benefit of all of us and it is growing in size and recognition.
The Brights -- Elevating the Naturalistic Worldview -- http://www.the-brights.net (A bright is a person who has a naturalistic worldview, free of supernatural and mystical elements.)
You can support them in several ways, one of which is to purchase a calendar. You can also support them by making a donation and simply by speaking up and letting people know about The Brights. You can put the insignia on your own website, weblog, tee shirt, business card, the list goes on and on. A number of suggestions are offered on the website.
As the November newsletter says, "The Brights' Network welcomed over 800 new Brights in October. Altogether, slightly over 34,500 individuals have registered. Next goal (after 35,000) will be growing to 50,000 Brights. To achieve that target well before the end of 2008, it is important that you do your part to extend this movement for civic justice for those whose worldviews are naturalistic. (The organization is dedicated to the secular concept of a level playing field of social acceptance and civic participation for all, inclusive of people who have a wholly naturalistic outlook.) The Brights' website holds the keys to anyone's understanding the nature of this endeavor, so even if you are not a Brights activist, you can still invite persons to view the site when appropriate occasions arise."
For some unknown reason there are no members listed in Nova Scotia. There are listings for members in Montreal, Ottawa and Ontario (you can find them on The Brights website) but not NS. I invite you to remedy that by signing up. Don't leave me here all by myself! Please, someone tell me why there are no Brights in NS. Are we not oppressed enough, are the religious among us so pleasant and non-oppressive as to not drive us to join The Brights? Simply going by the behavior of self-identified Christians, I'd venture to guess that the largest number of Brights is in the US.
