Bright

The term "bright", used as a noun, is a neologism invented by Paul Geisert and Mynga Futrell as a positive-sounding umbrella term to describe various kinds of non-superstitious people. They define the word as follows:

A bright is a person whose worldview is naturalistic - free of supernatural and mystical elements. A bright's ethics and actions are based on a naturalistic worldview.

Richard Dawkins has publicised the idea in an article.

A different movement that includes naturalists who believe in God is called Universism.
