I thought everybody had freedom of thought and expression of it, under the Bill of Rights. A club for that sounds exclusive and closed.

"Free thinker" usually connotes atheism? Is that what you mean?

There is no need to apostrophize for being a freethinker.

Actually, if the club belongs to free thinkers, then the apostrophe would be appropriate.

“The apostrophe usually is not used if ‘for’ or ‘by’ rather than ‘of’ would be appropriate in the longer form,” such as “a college for teachers.”

Free Thinkers deserve just as much respect as does any religion. Freedom of choice. Is that a problem for some?
