Sean Curley

Hello, my name is Sean Curley and I'm an AAI Ambassador for Colorado and surrounding areas. I grew up a fairly devout Catholic, being an alter boy and using my lunch hour during high school sometimes to lead the rosary. Then college awakened me to the worlds religions and from there, over a number of years, I came to understand how fake it all is and therefore became an Atheist. More often though, I refer to myself as a Humanist because I think it starts at a friendlier place and spurs a more productive conversation.

In my endeavors to promote both Humanism and Atheism, I'm a Humanist Celebrant, performing non-religious weddings and other ceremonies; I published a book called Humanism for Parents - Parenting without Religion; I'm on the board of the Boulder International Humanist Institute; have a web site: http://spiritualhumanist.info; belong to the Denver Atheists and Freethinkers (DAFT), and the Humanists of Colorado; I periodically talk on subjects ranging from parenting to the foundations of Christianity; and, of course, I'm an AAI Ambassador.

I'm currently divorced with four kids living at home roughly half time and spend my spare time reading, writing, running and fixing up the house. My "regular" career is in software and I have advanced degrees in Computer Science, Engineering Management, and Space Studies. Finally, I'm in the middle of writing my first novel (historical fiction), which I find much more difficult than writing non-fiction.

I'm always open to questions or comments, so fire away :)
