atheist, Bright, God

Here's what Google finds for "atheist"

Google Search: define: atheist

Also see this. When one reads "one who denies the existence of a God or gods", two important things to understand are "deny" and "God". "God" can be found here

All the emphasis on a "usually male" god is funny! In any case, belief in a deity (supernatural) is a necessary condition for the discussion on theism/atheism. People who say "I believe in Nature", "I am trying to merge with Being" fall outside this discussion unless they believe in something with supernatural powers. The word "theist" does not characterize your spirituality, only whether you believe a God exists.

Who or what is a BRIGHT? Isn't it an adjective?

Be sure to check out BRIGHT if you've never heard the term used. Tracking the Bright Idea is a nice place to read some more. Of course, with Google around, I don't need to point you to more articles.

There are plenty of people (both within and outside the umbrella of the term such as folks here)who hate the term "bright"

On a completely unrelated note about "God",

Often a follower of a non-monotheistic religion worhips many gods, they have in their minds something quite different from an all powerful " I can kick all your butts" kind of God. So, quit your "He has a million gods, hahaha" and try to understand what they really believe in.
