"New public relations strategy for the godless"
Archive: Christian Fundamentalism
Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary confirms my own doubts of the value of the Brights Movement:
Daniel Dennett claims that atheism is getting a bad press. The world is filled with religious believers, he acknowledges, but a growing number of atheists lack the respect they deserve. It's time for a new public relations strategy for the godless …
The word chosen to be the atheists' version of 'gay' is bright. That's right, they want unbelievers to call themselves brights. Give them an “A” for arrogance. …
Atheism may try to change its name, but it cannot succeed in changing its nature. This bright idea doesn't look so bright after all.
