I followed this link from TheCure.com and here is The Movement
The Movement
Any individual whose worldview is free of supernatural or mystical forces and entities may register as a constituent. With each registrant, the constituency of Brights gains one more person who supports the overall vision. These constituents can receive communications from the Internet hub (The Brights’ Net, a nonprofit educational organization) in order to stay current with ongoing activities. Persons may participate in the overall endeavor to the extent they wish by way of individual and group actions. As more persons support and participate in the endeavor, more gets done on behalf of persons whose worldview is naturalistic.
A Synopsis
If you are intrigued by the idea of ultimately building a constituency of a size to initiate and sustain notable collective social and political action, then be sure to explore this website fully. The brief explanatory synopsis gets you started.
Making a Movement
The primary impetus for the Brights’ endeavor is the need to constructively address the marginalized situation of persons who have a naturalistic worldview. If we are successful over the long term, then politicians, media, do-gooders, friends and family, acquaintances and employers will acknowledge and justly attend to the voices of the many and diverse brights.
The Brights' Bulletin
The Brights’ Bulletin is e-mailed monthly to registered Brights. It keeps Brights informed of ongoing activities and offers opportunities for involvement.
Being a Bright - A "How-To"
If you are a bright (by definition), then why not stand up and be a Bright (in person)? By speaking out as a Bright (or simply as “a person who has a naturalistic worldview”), you can in fact help extend the Bright idea to the general population—one query or opportunity at a time.
Expressing Your Naturalistic Worldview
Whether or not you employ the noun Bright as an identifier for yourself, you can aid the movement both by being open and positive regarding your supernaturalism-free stance and by conveying your worldview in harmony with its aims and principles.
Brights' Merchandise
Check out the array of items (mugs, mousepads, T's and so forth) you can obtain for your personal pleasure, or for showing the world you are a Bright.
Brights' Tool Box
The "Tool Box" offers an opportunity for Brights to benefit by sharing of constructive ideas for how, in a milieu infused with supernaturalist beliefs, persons who have a naturalistic worldview can best interact with fellow citizens.
Logos, Icons, & Banner Downloads
There are a variety of supporting materials to help you spread the word regarding The Brights’ Net, including: banners for your web site, Brights’ wallet cards, mini-fliers, and professional-level, camera-ready logo art.
All rightee then...Nature is a part of the supernatural... so I don't understand the philosophy of this site...
has Mr. Smith joined a hippie-dippie new age cult? can Beck train him to be a scientologist? do the upcoming gigs have seating because his fans are getting bad hips at their age?
inquiring minds want to know....

yeah, i dont get it either.
what is a naturalistic view of the world?
i dont get it.
i get what they are saying, a naturalistic worldview as in biology vs theology, a universe without gods/karma/mojo/ghosts etc. old-school athiests. i support non-religious based polictics, but i'm wiccan and don't qualify to join rsx's midlife crisis cult

Science in the world is taking a breath and knowing it effects everything. Someone just took a breath in China and my ecosystem and energy is going to be effected. Oxygen and gravity is just basic science.
I dunno know. This doesn't mean Robert supports it personally because as we all well know...just because something is lurking around or on The Cure site doesn't mean it's true or actually related to the band or Robert.
Anyway my family drama continues today and I've had time to think about this "movement". And I concluded I honestly don't give a shit what anyone believes as long as they appreciate what they have and don't hurt anyone-especially themselves...

"rsx's midlife crisis cult"
hahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha!
(yep, that's about right)
i think it's safe to question what the church has told us god is ~ safe, and highly recommended. but i'm not ready to declare myself an athiest.
if you've ever held someone as they died, or as they were born, then you might be better equipped to appreciate an alternative context of divinity (rather than some guy w/ a long grey beard who really doesn't like women very much and controls every aspect of our existance)(which is ridiculous, to me)
i say BEWARE of anyone or any movement who/which attempts to organize ppl in the name of "religion" (or anti-religion). there's generally some hidden agenda that goes along w/ that horse-shit.
there's nothing more personal than an individual's relationship w/ god, and no organization or church should interfere.
