(Redirected from Free Inquiry)
'''Free Inquiry''' is a bi-monthly journal of secular humanist opinion and commentary, published by the Council for Secular Humanism. Paul Kurtz is the editor-in-chief and Tom Flynn the editor. Feature articles cover a wide range of topics from a freethinking perspective.

Regular columnists include:
In 2006, Borders Group refused to carry the April-May issue of Free Inquiry in their Borders and Waldenbooks stores because of the magazine's publication of 4 cartoons that originally appeared in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten and sparked violent worldwide Muslim protests. The reason given by Borders for their decision was not sensitivity to religion but fear of violence[1].
The story made national and international news and the implications of this self censorship was widely discussed by CBS News, the Washington Post [2] and the New York Times [3]. The "blogsphere" widely condemned the decision of Borders to ban the magazine [4] and columnist Christopher Hitchens lamented the action in an article [5]. News of the affair spread as widely as The Times of India [6].
