Yeah, I feel like a dork just being associated with the term. Not that I'm not a dork, but yeah...I've found that a good alternative to "atheist" or "bright" is "naturalist."
So long as your audience knows what you're talking about. Not naturist...or something to do with being gluten-free and hiking. The metaphysical kind of naturalism. Though I guess atheism is probably simpler...
