For those seeking moral direction, there is an alternative to supernatural religions. A Freethinker is a person who forms opinions about religion based on reason, logic and common sense, independent of tradition or authority. Freethinkers can include atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, rationalists, skeptics, and anyone who supports the separation of church and state. No one who demands conformity to a bible, creed, doctrine, or messiah can be a freethinker. To the Freethinker, faith and revelation are invalid and orthodoxy is no guarantee of truth.
Freethinkers make up their own minds on issues.
They can be of any political persuasion, and have widely differing views on a wide range of subjects. Freethinkers do not blindly follow the beliefs of anyone. Freethought groups are collections of independently thinking individuals who happen to agree on issues that are important to them. Freethought groups are the opposite of religious cults. Freethinkers do not subscribe to 'collective thinking'.
