I guess they are saying that people who think for themselves will make choices that are not based on God's will.
I think more likely that there is no such thing as a "free thinker." Biblically, this is based on the idea that you either a slave to the Lord, or a slave to your father, the Devil (as Christ said). There are no "neutral parties" in this war.
Practically, almost every so-called "free thinker" I've heard from gets their opinions off atheist web sites and newsletters.
A "free thinker" is an atheist. So the funny point is the play with the word free and being a slave.

All these definitions are pretty good and fit with the sign. It's kind of like saying, "I hate judgmental people!" which is, of course, judging. Free thinkers believe in science/reason/logic, dismissing the idea of God, which actually gives Satan a foothold. Ironic.
