About
Colin Campbell is the founder of Aretéanism, a modern nontheistic religion focused on personal development, community, and cultural transformation. His career has taken him from Mormon missionary to Marine Corps veteran of the Afghanistan conflict, intelligence analyst, operations planner, refugee advocate, charity worker, political activist, game designer, project manager, and videographer. Since founding Aretéanism in 2016, Colin has dedicated himself to exploring one of humanity's oldest questions: How do we help people become better versions of themselves while building stronger communities and a healthier society? His work combines insights from religion, psychology, philosophy, and community design to create practical systems for meaning, belonging, and personal growth in the modern world.
