79. The term is probably appropriate
It displays the egotism and hatred of those who disagree with the most strident of the atheism movement. (No, not all or even most atheists here seem to have a chip on their shoulders. Just enough to be really offensive.)

Based on the Mother Teresa posts today, I think the atheism movement needs some serious PR work, but that makes sense for a group that defines itself not by what it believes, but by what it does not.

As an aside, I am sure many non-atheists will be offended by the "bright" term.
