i dont think so. if 'free thinker' is someone who believes that God do not exist, it will be not 'free' at all.

they are different. from the phrase "free thinker", it suggests tt the person can believe whatever he/she wants to believe. for example, "all religions are real". tt can b a view point of a free thinker. but if the free thinker doesn't believe in God's existence, he/she is an atheist rather than a free thinker. there's no sitting on the fence realli, ur either a believer, free thinker, skeptic, agnostic or atheist.
