Hey FNM
As has been said, freethinking has no ties, especially with theological positions. We (several people on this thread) are actually talking about a default position being what you're born with... what babies are --> atheists. It depends on the definition.
No one is saying atheism must = no thought ...but it's in my interest to point out the balance here. Yes I like to provoke. I'm not alone.
"Your religion (has done plenty to turn people away)" <--- I think you're talking about anti Christians dressed as Christians. Even me sometimes.
How can a believer 'automatically' believe what they're told? How is that even possible? The fools are everywhere. It does you no favours comparing yourself to them. Explain the validity of your position rather than belittle the unfortunate... it'll make you lot a whole lot more convincing
