Michael Nugent
Michael Nugent (born 1 June 1961) is an Irish writer and activist. He has written three books, co-written two and was one of the three writers of comedy musical play ''I, Keano''. He has campaigned on many political issues, often with his late wife Anne Holliday, and he is chairperson of the advocacy group Atheist Ireland. He argues that atheism provides a better model of reality, and a better basis for morality, than believing in gods; that atheists can enjoy the benefits that many people get from religion, without the harmful effects; and that the state should be secular, promoting neither religion nor atheism.〔(Give us a state that's not religious nor atheist, but secular ) Michael Nugent, ''Irish Times'', 19 October 2010〕 He writes a blog about happiness and atheism, and he supports Bohemians and Leeds United football clubs.
==Early life==
Nugent was completing a project on the Gospels in primary school when he started to question the "comic book" nature of the Bible.〔(Our 256,000 (and counting) atheists, agnostics, humanists and non-religious ) Roisin Ingle, ''Irish Times'', 4 June 2011〕 He attended St. Aidan's C.B.S. secondary school in Whitehall in Dublin. He graduated in visual communications in 1983 at the College of Marketing and Design, now part of the Dublin Institute of Technology. He has since addressed graduate events at both institutions.〔(Awards night ) St. Aidan's C.B.S., September 2005〕〔(DIT end of year exhibition ) Irish Times, 1 June 2004〕〔(DIT presents the most wide-ranging graduate exhibition in Ireland ) Dublin Institute of Technology, 1 June 2004〕 In 1983, he was elected president of the college students' union and students' representative on the Dublin City Council Vocational Education Committee.〔(Fees at VEC colleges to be increased by up to 125% ) Maev-Ann Wren, ''Irish Times'', 29 July 1983〕〔(College ‘may be forced to close’ ) ''Irish Times'', 1 March 1984〕 In 1984, he was defeated when he ran for the post of education officer in the Union of Students in Ireland, in opposition to Joe Duffy, then USI president, who is now a broadcaster with RTE. He then took a course in product development, and set up as a freelance designer.〔(Saturday profile: a man with his own agenda ) Lorna Siggins, ''Irish Times'', 3 April 1993〕
