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?
You focus too much on the word "free" The label also contains the word "think". While a christain isn't a free thinker, that does not necessarily mean he is not free. It could equally well mean he is an idiot whose mental process, even while free, does not rise to the caliber expected of "think".
