Expressions and Illuminations
When depicting and/or living out a worldview free of supernaturalism, Brights may be as inventive as they are individualistic. These presentations show an array of ways that Brights, in responding to the movement, indicate their optimism.
Inspired by The Brights' Icon
Interpretation
--The blue character symbolises the "racial neutrality" of the brights
--The female symbolises the birth of a new era
--The stick has the shape of a double helix symbol of the DNA and evolution
--The light from the stick represents knowledge (and science) enlightening the world
--The lights on the planet earth represents the brights themselves all
around the world
--The sheet represents care for the blue planet

Edwin's presents his version of "A Bright"
Are you an Atheist, a Freethinker, or a Humanistic Jew,
A Unitarian, an Agnostic; maybe a Secular Humanist too,
A Humanist, a Rationalist, or some new alphabet stew?
If the words you would express don’t clearly clarify you,
But should address you don’t caress some supernatural worldview,
No need for grief, there is relief, and something you can do—
Use the new word for all of us, who think that it is right
To know that scientific law is what holds back the night,
That a naturalistic worldview gives human beings light—
A word that means no more than that, and that new word is bright.
We can all still use words that divide us, and also be a Bright,
For what we have in common gives us all much greater might.
Whatever we might call ourselves, we each can be a Bright.
