Center For Inquiry

The mission of the Center for Inquiry is to foster a secular society based on science, reason, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values. Fostering a secular society requires attention to many specific goals, but three goals in particular represent the focus of our activities: 1. an end to the influence that religion and pseudoscience have on public policy 2. an end to the privileged position that religion and pseudoscience continue to enjoy in many societies 3. an end to the stigma attached to being a nonbeliever, whether the nonbeliever describes her/himself as an atheist, agnostic, humanist, freethinker or skeptic.
