Freethinker: : one that forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority; especially : one who doubts or denies religious dogma
By all means let's be open-minded,
but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.Richard Dawkins, in "Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder,"

Thought for the day
How many people would believe in a god if there were no rewards promised to the self for doing so?
Hi freethoughtmom...glad you visited my blog. I have read yours and will be back to visit often. :-) I had always been a closet skeptic. Then in 1996 our whole family left religion behind and have been much happier without it...FREE! Some of my extended family pities us, and I would bet money we are on a prayer list to save our souls at one or more church! Thanks for the discussion group link. I will check it out.
Hi Stardust ... this is Clark (the Christian from our ongoing discussion on the Atheist Revolution Blog). Thank you for posing this question. I used it for an opportunity to examine my faith on my own blog - http://spaces.msn.com/members/buckeyefan36/Blog/cns!1p-mlhszGxE8CSR-VflQ-4AQ!260.entry
