In some ways, we generally adhere to the Wikipedia neutral point of view, but deviate from it in some ways. Facts should be stated impartially. Where there is dispute about the facts, the professional scientific and historical consensus is preferred. We will try to fairly present the best examples of opposing arguments if any exist. Conclusions are written from a neutral i.e. skeptical point of view."</blockquote>They further encourage their members to maintain traits of [[Rationalism|rationality]] and interest in thoughtful intellectial argumentation, a [[Materialism|materialistic]] outlook, and a willingness to use [[science]] as a reliable approach to acquiring knowledge. They are also aganist [[Dogmatism|dogma]], like that found in many organized religions.<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=Religions Wiki|title=Religions Wiki:Neutral point of view|url=https://religions.wiki/index.php/Religions_Wiki:Neutral_point_of_view|retrieved=2022-7-16|quote=This website is written from a skeptical point of view, meaning that belief should be proportioned to the evidence.
