Let's assume, for this discussion thread, a deist is one who believes in a deity, but not a personal God. They believe in some sort of creator, but not in the value of prayer or any world religion. They suppose a God got the ball rolling, and then allowed the laws of physics to carry the ball along.
A freethinker is one that thinks freely or independently of dogma. They don't accept blind faith or authority and question everything. Reason is a freethinker's only valid cognitive tool.
Don't like my definitions? Then you define the terms and then answer the question.
