David Bonney is the founder of Atheist Shoes. Originally from Dublin, he has worked as an academic psychologist and a strategist in London’s advertising industry, for brands like Marmite, Xbox & Mini. David moved to Berlin in 2009, where he spent time as a comedy songwriter, before learning shoe design and making the first Atheist Shoe.

David feels like a typical European laissez-faire atheist, rather than some fundamentalist militant. And he is often as miffed by the mind-numbing silliness and crappy quality to be found in the fashion industry, as he is by the same qualities of religion.
