Funny, I never considered atheists and freethinkers the same thing, I think freethinkers can be atheists or theists. It may intersect people in both of these groups, although the nature of religion really puts alot of theists out of freethought, but its hard for them to admit it.
If you believe an unsupported claim and try to wrap your worldview around it, you are limiting your thought, simple as that.
But in the end no one is really a freethinker in an absolute way, people are influenced by others, by books, by education, by all the 'bumps' along the way.
