Freethought is a philosophical doctrine that holds that beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logical principles and not be comprised by authority, tradition or any other dogmatic or other belief system that restricts logical reasoning. The cognitive application of freethought is known as freethinking, and practitioners of freethought are known as freethinkers.

I guess that would leave you out then. You seem to enjoy promoting arguments and saying things like "Was Jesus a ***.ger?". That doesn't seem very logical or scientific.
I think you get picked on a lot in life and this is how you strike back. It doesn't have anything to do with freethinking.

Therefore by your details, you say that an artist does not have freedom of thought in his art because it does not follow "the basis of science and logical principles."
Interesting.

There's probably few here. Unconditional thinking is as important to evolution and growth as unconditional love/acceptance is.

there is no one that is going not call themselves a free thinker, no matter how tied they are to what others think.
None of us are really free to think freely. we all have our prejudices.

Did you know that Mr. T is a Christian. It's true. I saw him on a television show professing his faith in Jesus.

My thoughts are still free even if I don't have faith in human "intellect" per se.
By your definition--not I.
