More and more I see that the label of atheist confines one's thought processes...only to that of an atheist. You can not be a free-thinker and an atheist at the same time, it just does not work.I don't deny anything. You don't need to deny anything in order to not believe something. I'm open to any persuasive argument for the existence of God, I just haven't seen any yet.
You can easily be a free thinker and an atheist at the same time, please show your reasoning that this is not the case. Free thinking is the ability to think without restricting to dogmas, of which atheism has none. Devoutly religious people are incapable of being freethinkers, as are some atheists who subscribe to a strict "God does not exist" belief, but to generalise atheists like this is ridiculous.
