Campbell, John Archibald (1906—1976)

Campbell was an Australian freethinker, activist, and quantity surveyor. Upon migrating from England, he became active in the Humanist Society of South Australia, being elected as its president in 1966.

From 1967 to 1968, he was president of the Council of Australian Humanist Societies, and in 1969 with Laurie Bullock he re-established the Rationalist Association of South Australia, becoming its president and editor of the monthly Rationalist.

When the organization changed its name to the Atheist Foundation of Australia, he was elected president and retained that office until his death. Campbell was noted as a prolific writer of hard-hitting articles and leaflets.
