What does it mean to be an American? For centuries, the idea has been shaped by myth and tradition, but beneath the surface lies a far more complex story. Free Inquiry delves into the heart of the “Christian Nation” narrative, unearthing the hidden histories of conquest, colonization, and the manipulation of faith to justify injustice.

About us
The Center for Inquiry strives to foster a secular society based on reason, science, freedom of inquiry, and humanist values. The Center for Inquiry (CFI) is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to defending science and critical thinking in examining religion. CFI’s vision is a world in which evidence, science, and compassion—rather than superstition, pseudoscience, or prejudice—guide public policy. To make a better world, we need to use our heads and our hearts. To confront the challenges that face us as a planetary civilization, we need to use the tools of science and reason guided by compassion and respect for the dignity of every individual. To move forward, we need to discard old superstitions, prejudices, and magical thinking and embrace facts, evidence, and critical thinking. It’s about more than whether or not God exists. It’s about more than whether ghosts roam among us, aliens hover above us, or psychics can see within us. The Center for Inquiry (CFI) strives to foster a society free of the dogmatic influence of religion and pseudoscience; a society inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment, the wonders of science, and the limitless potential of human intelligence and creativity; a society in which beliefs are not granted the same rights as people, where the freedom of expression is enjoyed by all, and all ideas are open to the scrutiny of reason. Secular government. Free inquiry. Critical thinking. Humanist values. This is the Center for Inquiry.

Have you heard claims such as conventional produce is 'toxic' and covered with harmful pesticides? Or that these pesticides cause myriad health issues such as cancer, infertility, and autism? Or that conventional farming destroys soil health or soil microbes? Or that GMOs are a ploy to spray more pesticides? Or that GMOs or glyphosate cause obesity? These lies came from RFK Jr. It’s time to discuss facts: https://ow.ly/bS9V50UiCnI #RFKJr #PublicHealthMatters #FoodSafety #FDA #USFoodIndustry

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is manifestly unfit to lead given that he sows distrust in science, spreads conspiracy theories, and expresses disdain for the “medical establishment.” America simply deserves better leadership on health. Please contact your member of the U.S. Senate and urge them to oppose Kennedy’s nomination for Secretary of HHS: https://ow.ly/mTyi50UgKqt #RFKJr #HealthAndHumanServices #PublicHealth #USElections

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he wants healthier food, but here’s the kicker: his crusade against conventional farming has actually made nutritious food less accessible. For decades, he’s peddled pseudoscience to scare people away from affordable fruits and veggies, all while cozying up to Big Organic profits. Want to know the truth behind the buzzwords and fearmongering? It’s time to peel back the layers on RFK Jr.’s anti-science agenda: https://ow.ly/j7P050UggNe #ScienceMatters #MythBusting #CriticalThinking
