Science is a discipline that needs its maverick thinkers - and their research provides a kind of reality check on the climatology field, for example, when it is attacked by global-warming skeptics.
So what is it that keeps hard core fundamentalist Christians from looking at non believers as "maverick thinkers" whoes questions "provide a kind of reality check" on expressions religious that the Christian faithful persistently hold out to the public & are not, as such, attacking Christianity?

Many people who try to question my faith have been immature people asking simple questions that can be rebutted with only a moment of thought. Sarcasm and shallow thinking does not strike me as being maverick.
Now, Martin Luther was a maverick for his day.

It seems to me that our recent forays into psychology and quantum physics suggest that religious themes are a part of mankinds collective unconscious, passed down like genes, that recurs in various symbols, all given slightly different names and stories, but rooted in something beyond space and time (what we call consciousness, or free energy). I think soon people will realize their religious beliefs are only a reflection of a greater truth that all spiritual beliefs reflect.
Then maybe religious discourse will be a little easier as people realize that everyone's right and everyone's wrong. We're all the yin and the yang.

Maverick thinkers, as you refer to them, re-affirm for believers that the Bible is the only reality check that matters to us.

but unto us that are saved it is the power of God."

God gave us Science because he wants us to learn and grow and advance. Creative thinking doesn't mean anti-religion.

You don't choose God,rather He chooses you,and draws you in.
So if you are a non believer,that's ok. It just means that God hasn't called you.....yet
God bless
