>O'Dell and Floyd both define atheism as the lack of belief in the
supernatural.

I'd prefer: `a principled repudiation of belief in a supernatural Supreme
Being'.

>Free thinkers, in contrast may believe in God but arrive there "on their
own merit and wit" rather than through acceptance of an authority, like the
Bible.

Make up your mind, Are you a `free thinker' or an atheist?
