There is not and never has been a conflict between religion and science. There is a conflict between science and the people who use religion as tool for achieving worldly wealth and power. I would imagine that psychiatry and free thinking would pose the same threat. The wealth and special privileges of the clergy are based on the idea that they speak for God, and are thus infallible. Scientists, free thinkers, and others all challenge their infallibility, and thus their livelihood. If enough people begin questioning the church doctrines, the clergy might have to get real jobs. Clearly we can't have that.

In order to achieve love one has to be at peace. Dogmatic practice is not peaceful. Excusing negative behavior is not peaceful nor is leading one to believe only a pill can make them behave or feel better in every case. Both are playing a huge role in the destruction of family. As far as free thinking - thinking is free and always has been and we all have free will no matter what. People in communist countries have free will as do people in prison for life along with the rest of us - a toddler has free will it's not that hard of a concept. I choose to keep in mind just where that free will came from and pray for wisdom so I don't get caught up in man's theory, fads, and gossip.
It's what we do with that free will, decisions we make, and if we acknowledge right from wrong that gives us the ability to achieve peace and love.

Free thinking offers a way out of religion while it still exists in our world, science is slowly disproving the superstitious nonsense that makes it up, and psychiatry is for those who have seen the light but still need an emotional and psychological crutch.

in effortless words on the bottom factor, is there any conflict in any respect. on the optimal factor all of them already agree! and they continuously have. the precedence is, they don't recognize that yet. reason' guy ought to do a lot extra ideal, yet insists on doing a lot or maximum of his existence on the decrease or lowest factor, at the same time as that could not mandatory in any respect! I experience that issues are replacing, fairly quick even, and per chance we are able to finally attain extra of the ranges the position we belong. We probable nonetheless have a hearth to flow via, notwithstanding, earlier we are finally gold. Peace and Love

No. Free will, psychiatry and sciences are humanistic explanations of what is stated in the Bible.
Jesus never talked about physics, but "...If you don't understand eartly things, how can I explain heavenly things."...to Nicodemus.

No, when understood, and applied correctly the sciences do not contradict faith, although they may explain some things that faith doesn't really attempt to. Free thinking is usually a code word for rejection of religious practice, so in that sense it is in conflict. A truly honest search for the truth will always lead to God however; so in that sense they are not in conflict.

No.
I do find it strange, though, that people dare to call themselves "free thinkers" while belittling anyone who doesn't think exactly as they do.
