I may believe in Christianity, but that doesn't mean I'm not a free thinker! I made a choice to be a Christian which means I freely chose to be one. I was not forced to be one. Even as a Christian I can freely think. Can someone explain to me how the term 'Free' Thinker only applies to Atheists?
I don't find it offensive.
I think that 'free thinker' is necessarily silly. I'm a determinist, so I understand all of our thinking is not 'free' any more than is our will.
So... I guess you could sat that I find it funny.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
