Brights is a stupid label, and most atheists I know agree with me on that. Even if it was to be the accepted term I wouldn't use it.

Sam Harris does have a point. It is one of the few things that are backwards in terminology. I don't call myself "avegan" or "non-hat wearer". It is because atheism is not the norm that we need to differentiate.
Best regards,
