Valentin Abgottspon studied Germanistik and philosophy at the University of Freiburg. From 2006 to October 2010 he was a secondary school teacher in the Wallis municipality of Stalden. Together with other freethinkers, he founded the Wallis section and became the section's president. In October 2010, he was fired from his job without notice because he campaigned for secular education and refused to hang a crucifix in his classroom.
