It's true. To combat this the New Atheist movement came up with the term "Bright", but it hasn't caught on. I feel as though Bright is a nice term but could be seen as extremely condescending. I think the term humanism works so well because it is such a positive descriptor AND you can represent core values that all humans should respect and strive for. If someone is actively against the health, wealth, and well-being of all humans... than I really wouldn't want to be associating with them anyway!any time I bring up that I am atheist it often leads to confrontation that I don't want and yet feel obliged to engage in.
