How would your choices be more limited if you didn't believe you had free will?
Personally I think that if he thinks he can believe something "because he wants to" he misunderstands how belief actually works.
Either he is convinced by the idea of "free will" or he isn't. Besides Contra-causal free will is logically incoherent and compatabilist free will is redundant and misleading.
He's probably confusing determinism with fatalism. He is just as open to all choices without a belief in free will, provided that he is not a fatalist.
I'm sure you agree, but it would be fascinating if you don't. Hope you don't mind me chipping in, I do this
