The Religious Institute, Inc. is a progressive American multi-faith organization dedicated to advocating for sexual health, education, and justice in faith communities and society.

The Religious Institute's initial purpose is "to change the way America understands the relationship of sexuality and religion".

The Religious Institute staff work with clergy, congregations, and denominational bodies on a one-time, short-term, or long-term basis to address sexuality issues.

Staff can help choose or plan curricula, develop safe congregation policies, identify local consultants or referral sources, and respond to difficult situations and circumstances around a sexuality issue.

Religious Institute staff assist the media in identifying spokespeople from various denominations to speak on sexual justice issues.
