On the [[Brights Movement]] website, Mehta is listed as an "Enthusiastic Bright".<ref>[http://www.the-brights.net/people/enthusiastic/index2.html "Enthusiastic Brights" at the Brights Movement website]</ref> The Brights Movement has been widely criticized as being pretentious and arrogant (see: [[Atheism and arrogance]]). Given the Brights Movement's reputation for smugness, 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" (his blog is called ''The Friendly Atheist'') and "smug" being incompatible opposites (see: [[Atheist hypocrisy]]).
