n.
One who has rejected authority and dogma, especially in religious thinking, in favor of rational inquiry and speculation

This is T. Jefferson, to a T. He questioned everything and accepted nothing on faith; but he was a Christian in that he was "sincerely attached to his doctrines in preference to all others, ascribing to himself every human excellence, and believing he never claimed any other." However he rejected authority and dogma and any account of the miraculous.
