Freethinkers?

A couple of days ago, Sean told me about his visit to a group of students who are thinking of forming a "freethinkers" group. He even videotaped (actually really just the audio) the meeting and put it on private videos on Youtube. I listened to a couple while doing other work. It was obvious that "freethinking" was code for "agnostic/atheistic/secular." It wasn't what Sean expected and he didn't feel quite welcome. He wasn't expecting it to be focused on being atheistic/agnostic. I think he was expecting more of a general discussion. A college. . .a time of discovery.
