What is CFIs overall stance on political issues?
As a non-profit, non-partisan, educational organization, CFI is not permitted by IRS regulations to engage in certain types of political activity. While CFI has taken positions on some politically-charged issues, not every member or affiliated campus group agrees with every position. The Center for Inquiry recognizes and appreciates differences of political and social opinion among its members. Generally, CFI values individual freedom and civil liberties, while striving to make reason and secular values, rather than religious faith, the foundation on which a political position is based. CFI has taken positions on several related issues that have been attacked on religious-political grounds, such as supporting church-state separation and religious liberty; freedom of speech and conscience, and the defense of academic freedom.
