What exactly is your definition of a free thinker?
Pretty simple really. Keeping an open mind. Once you close it, you are exercising a freedom to close it, but in doing so you have confined your thought. I understand doing that for your work. And I'm ok with you doing it in your life. Don't preach to me that I must confine my thought to your way of thinking in order to be a "freethinker".

Trying to get people with no business in my life to stop forcing themselves into my life is radical now?
I'm a libertarian. If I had my way, the government would go back to doing what libertarians believe governments ought to do. That is performing only the functions that clearly serve a wider public good. Fixing roads, putting out fires, ensuring people do not harm each other physically or unlawfully financially, etc. There would be no intrusion beyond these kinds of simple things. There certainly wouldn't be these so******t programs eating up tax dollars and destroying the economy and making people government dependents in the process.
SO when was the last time you were forced to participate in a church service by the Government, or was made to follow a particular religion? What are they doing to cause you any harm so far? What is the manner of the injury you suffer that makes you want to go to non atheist forums to preach atheism?

Blessings
