I've always leaned towards Existentialism. It all started during my first philo class way back in college. My thesis topic was even about Existentialism. At one point, I also got interested in Nihilism and Friedrich Nietzsche.
With regards to religion, i'd choose spirituality over religion, though I learn from Buddhist teachings too.
Nihilism is good for when you want to seem cool for having no interests or ambitions.

Ever heard of the Stoics? They have a point in living life.
"Almost no material things are needed for a happy life, for he who has understood existence" -
My favorite Philosophers are Plato, Descartes, and Kant. There are times that I would dig into more complex arguments like Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Hegel. For me, Plato has the best ideas when it comes to freethinking like "think more and know thyself". It means subjecting your ideas to examination rather than acting or impulse. Descartes is also known for his "I think therefore I am" quote or the power of logic (rules for the direction of the mind).
One cannot just be a freethinker, he/she should be a rationalist. I have a faith in introspection guided by definition, arguments and clarity of thought. Most of the wrong in this world are caused by misusing our mind. confusion, bad definition, and illogicality. Lastly, our mind should be better equipped for the task of thinking not just freethinking.
P.S. It's funny how some of us just copy from Wikipedia. It's not freethinking at all. -
Nah. This job doesn't fuel my passion. And when I feel complacency in me, I leave. Simple as that.

It should be LOVE and LUST if you are talking about relationships. For me it should be associated so change the title. LOL

Ironically, most of the time when people say "be more open minded", what they really mean to say is just "have my ideas".
