The Centre intercantonal d'information sur les croyances (CIC) is a publicly funded Swiss organization based in Geneva that provides information on religious beliefs in French-speaking Switzerland. Founded after the deaths of many members of the Order of the Solar Temple cult in the 1990s, it aims to provide neutral resources on information related to religious beliefs, particularly when it comes to new religious movements. It was established in 2001. CIC was founded when, following the Order of the Solar Temple deaths in the 1990s, the cantons of Geneva, Vaud, Valais and Ticino decided to fund the creation of an information center focusing on religious beliefs in 2001. There had been a report that showed a lack of information on cults in Switzerland in 1997 as a result. The new organization aimed to both be preventative of future issues and to address the Swiss population's concerns following the Solar Temple deaths. More information...
