Atheist is an old-fashion’d word: I’m a freethinker, child. Joseph Addison, Drummer.
Of what use is freedom of thought, if it will not produce freedom of action, which is the sole end, how remote soever in appearance, of all objections against Christianity? And therefore the freethinkers consider it as an edifice, wherein all the parts have such a mutual dependance on each other, that if you pull out one single nail, the whole fabrick must fall to the ground. Jonathan Swift, Argument against abolishing Christianity.

freethinker
A freethinker is a person who forms their own ideas, beliefs, and opinions independently, based on reason and logic rather than conforming to traditional views, mainstream thinking, or established doctrines and dogmas, particularly those of organized religion. They advocate for freedom of thought and often reject or challenge authority that cannot justify itself through rational means.
