Usage :
An infidel ,
in common usage ,
is one who denies Christianity and the truth of the Scriptures .
Some have endeavored to widen the sense of infidel so as to embrace atheism and every form of unbelief ;
but this use does not generally prevail .
A freethinker is now only another name for an infidel .
An unbeliever is not necessarily a disbeliever or infidel ,
because he may still be inquiring after evidence to satisfy his mind ;
the word ,
however ,
is more commonly used in the extreme sense .
A deist believes in one God and a divine providence ,
but rejects revelation .
An atheist denies the being of God .
A sceptic is one whose faith in the credibility of evidence is weakened or destroyed ,
so that religion ,
to the same extent ,
has no practical hold on his mind .
An agnostic remains in a state of suspended judgment ,
neither affirming nor denying the existence of a personal Deity .

and when he has avowed himself to be an infidel ,
he may show a reform of his conduct ,
and change of his opinion since the declarations proved when the declarations have been made for a very considerable space of time ,
slight proof will suffice to show he has changed his opinion .
