Professor Daniel Dennett, is a "Bright" and like the interviewer said, being a"bright" doesn't imply being smart, but it means that they are strictly people who reject supernatural explanations. He says that they are like agnostics, and athiests, however, Dennett doesn't like being labeled an agnostic, because he sees them as people who are doubting religious beliefs and ways of worship.Dennett is a "bright" because he says he is 100% sure that there is no God, he even stated, "Of course there isn't a God, so what." He even said that you can't prove a negative.
Dennett said that he doesn't like making a big deal about being a "bright" and not believing in God unlike someone who is an atheist. I grew up a Catholic and do have a faith and belief in God, but there are people that have absolutely no clue if God even exists. Many people are set in there ways like Dennett who are100% sure that there is no God out there. This is a tough subject to reflect upon because there are so many religions out there that people follow and give there life to. Religion is a very powerful tool to get through the good, bad and ugly times in life. If someone doesn't want to believe in God then so be it, I'm not here on this earth to preach otherwise, I'm here to live life to the fullest. God is an important part of my life, but of course at times I even question some things that are apart of my faith, but there are some things we will never have complete truthful answers to in life, and that's ok.
