Committee for the Scientific Examination of Religion
"CSER examines the claims of Eastern and Western religions and of well-established and newer sects and denominations in the light of scientific inquiry. The committee is interdisciplinary, and includes specialists in Biblical and Quranic studies, the history of religion, archaeology, linguistics, anthropology, the social sciences, and philosophy. Its fellows and consultants represent a variety of secular and religious traditions. While its perspective is broadly humanistic, the Committee values the academic contributions of critical scholarship regardless of orientation."
