The Institute for Science and Human Values (ISHV) is a non-profit organization that promotes scientific inquiry and critical thinking in evaluating claims. It works to develop values that are naturalistic and humanistic in character and appropriate to the 21st century. Religion is often at the root of society’s ethical values, and ISHV endeavors to reevaluate them on rational grounds. It has begun to enlist the brightest scientists and scholars -- and not just in the United States but everywhere there are Humanists. Its members are committed to better developing the common moral virtues that we share as human beings.
