I am confused as to why atheists are illogically arguing against free will. Free will is the very definition of choice, choosing a future path by way of going one route over another.
In all honesty, we as atheists do have the free will to believe in anything, even if it as ludicrous as the fictional concept of god, but to outright throw free will out the window because it is too often associated with religion is quite illogical.
Just because I cannot personally conceive of believing in something that is not real does not mean that I absolutely cannot will myself to believe that it is real despite the fact that logic shows it is not real.
The mind is more fragile than for which we give it credit, and anyone for any reason can believe in something for the absolute wrong reasons completely not associated with logic in any way.
