bright
adj.— «Helm said he was born “bright,” a term he prefers to the pejorative “atheist.” His mother, a non-denominational Christian, tried to teach Helm her religion, but he said he believes only that which is grounded in science.» —“Court decisions don’t end monument debate” by Josh Verges Austin Daily Herald (Minn.)
