== Hermant Mehta and his endorsement of the Brights Movement ==
The atheist [[Hemant Menta]] is an author, popular atheist blogger, and atheist activist. He also served as a chair on the Secular Student Alliance board of directors. His blog is called ''The Friendly Atheist.'' Given the [[Brights Movement]]'s reputation for smugness (see: [[Atheism and arrogance]]), his endorsement of the Brights Movement and his current listing as an "Enthusiastic Bright" on the Brights Movement website, could be seen as a matter of hypocrisy due to the attributes of "friendly" and "smug" being incompatible opposites.<ref>[http://www.the-brights.net/people/enthusiastic/index2.html "Enthusiastic Brights" at the Brights Movement website]</ref>
