August Berkshire has been an atheist speaker, debater, and activist
since he cofounded the modern atheist movement in Minnesota in 1984. He
is a past president and newsletter editor of Minnesota Atheists and a
past vice president of Atheist Alliance International. He has served on
the board of directors of the Humanists of Minnesota and cofounded Camp
Quest of Minnesota in 2003. He is on the speakers bureau for the
national Secular Student Alliance.
August has developed a series of pamphlets that are distributed at
schools, festivals, and other venues. The pamphlets cover a diversity of
topics, including atheism, religion, the problem of evil, abortion,
fine-tuned universe, Jesus, Biblical commandments, and humor. Skeptics
Society founder Michael Shermer said August's performance in a debate in
Fargo was "the best overall defense of atheism that I have ever seen."
August's essay "My Road to Atheism" appears in the anthology "Atheist
Voices of Minnesota." He is the owner of the ATHEIST car license plate
for Minnesota and is proud to be listed in the reference book "Who's Who
in Hell."
