K. Freigedank is the pen name of composer Richard Wagner in a series of anti-Semitic writings, especially Das Judenthum in Der Musik (Judaism in Music), first published in 1869. The article had been used as a basis for the National Socialism (Nazi) of Germany under Adolf Hitler.
The word itself, freigedank, is German for free thought or free-thinker, which in its English annotation is used as a byword for atheism.
