American Skeptical Society

The American Skeptical Society is a group that promotes critical thinking and scientific inquiry. Its members evaluate claims, research, and ideas based on evidence, encouraging rational discussion and the scientific method. The Society aims to foster a culture of skepticism—questioning rather than accepting information at face value—to improve public understanding of science and foster informed decision-making. It supports education, debates, and publications that challenge misconceptions and promote intellectual honesty across various disciplines. Overall, it seeks to strengthen society’s ability to distinguish well-supported facts from unsupported or false claims.
