Austin Dacey

Austin Dacey (born April 19, 1972) is an American philosopher, writer, and human rights activist〔()〕 whose work concerns secularism, religion, freedom of expression, and freedom of conscience. He is the author of ''The Secular Conscience: Why Belief Belongs in Public Life'',〔Austin Dacey, The secular conscience: Why belief belongs in public life (Amherst: Prometheus Books 2008); ISBN 978-1-59102-604-4.〕 ''The Future of Blasphemy: Speaking of the Sacred in an Age of Human Rights'',〔Austin Dacey, The future of blasphemy: Speaking of the sacred in an age of human rights (London: Continuum Books, 2012); ISBN 978-1-4411-8392-7.〕 and a 2006 ''New York Times'' op-ed entitled "Believing in Doubt," which criticized the ethical views of Pope Benedict. He is a representative to the United Nations for the International Humanist and Ethical Union and the creator and director of The Impossible Music Sessions.
==Life and career==

Dacey was raised in the rural Midwest by liberal Catholics.〔Austin Dacey, "The Accidental Exorcist," in Russell Blackford and Udo Schüklenk, eds., 50 voices of disbelief: Why we are atheists (Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2009), 178.〕 His father Philip Dacey is a poet. As a young teenager, Dacey became an evangelical Protestant,〔Dacey, "The Accidental Exorcist," 178.〕 playing in the Christian alternative rock band, The Swoon, which in 1990 released an EP produced by Charlie Peacock. While studying music and philosophy at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, Dacey lost his religion, explaining later that "God stopped returning my calls." He studied applied ethics and social philosophy at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, and was awarded a doctorate in 2002. In 2005, he debated Christian philosopher William Lane Craig over the existence of God.〔(Does God Exist? ) A debate between William Lane Craig and Austin Dacey. 2005. California State University, Fresno.〕
Beginning in 1999, Dacey worked for the Center for Inquiry (CFI), a think tank that seeks "to foster a secular society based on science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values." He opened the New York City branch office of CFI〔Associated Press, "Skeptics' Organization Seeks Better Coverage of Science by Media" (March 16, 2003).〕 and later served as the organization's representative to the United Nations.〔Peter Steinfels, "Perceiving 2 Fallacies, a Secularist Faults His Fellows," New York Times (May 24, 2010).
〕 In 2009, Dacey left CFI and published a critique of the secular movement. In 2010, he created The Impossible Music Sessions, a forum in New York City for censored and persecuted musicians. He has taught ethics at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University.
