Missclassy.. There's no real difference between a freethinker and an atheist.

"All thinking men are atheist" - Ernest Hemingway

Goofy.. I didn't get it?

goofyone:
Okay then.
The answer is Napoleon Bonaparte. Actually his soldiers, but technically credited to Napoleon. And the "something" here is the Rosetta Stone.

Actually thought it was easy. Maybe i was wrong.

missclasssy:
An atheist is one without a theistic belief. He completely believes that there is no God.

A free thinker on the other hand is not intellectually bound by a specific dogmatic viewpoint.

Regarding religion, freethinkers hold that there is insufficient evidence to support the existence of supernatural phenomena.
According to the Freedom from Religion Foundation, "No one can be a freethinker who demands conformity to a bible, creed, or messiah. To the freethinker, revelation and faith are invalid, and orthodoxy is no guarantee of truth." and "Freethinkers are convinced that religious claims have not withstood the tests of reason.
Not only is there nothing to be gained by believing an untruth, but there is everything to lose when we sacrifice the indispensable tool of reason on the altar of superstition. Most freethinkers consider religion to be not only untrue, but harmful."


In the 18th and 19th century, many thinkers regarded as freethinkers were deists, arguing that the nature of God can only be known from a study of nature rather than from religious revelation.
In the 18th century, "deism" was as much of a 'dirty word' as "atheism", and deists were often stigmatized as either atheists or at least as freethinkers by their Christian opponents.
Deists today regard themselves as freethinkers, but are now arguably less prominent in the freethought movement than atheists.
