Daniel Dennett did not "invent" the term "Bright." Paul Geisert and Minga Futrell created the term and started the Bright movement.

Also, please justify why religious experience cannot be separated and trivialized in the manner Dennett does? As Steven Pinker once said (to paraphrase), the reason he loves his children is perfectly explainable through evolution - but that doesn't make it any less real. Your criticism is too vague to be of any value and your eagerness to use human existentialism as a counter-point to Dennett's seems equally like a prejudice.

Thank you.
