Freethought

Dr. Jonathan Sarfati is a staff member of Creation Ministries International.

The terms freethought and freethinkers are oxymorons. Freethinker is a pretentious moniker that atheists/agnostics have dubbed themselves (See: Atheism and arrogance).

There is no atheists/agnostics who are freethinkers. Jesus said, "He who sins is the slave of sin". See also: Atheism and morality and Moral failures of the atheist community

In addition, the atheist worldview has a number of beliefs that atheists commonly share (see: Atheism and beliefs).

Furthermore, most atheists fall on the left end of the political spectrum (see: Atheism and politics and Secular left).

Atheists and groupthink

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of individuals in which the quest for harmony/conformity within the group results in irrational and/or poor decision-making.

There are a number of notable cases of atheists engaging in groupthink (see: Atheism and groupthink).

"We must also wonder why atheists call themselves ‘freethinkers’ if they believe thoughts are the results of atomic motion in the brain obeying the fixed laws of chemistry. By their own philosophy, they can’t help what they believe! - Jonathan Sarfati
