If I am not free to decide right and wrong for a moral dilemma that I encounter, do I really have free will?

I don't see what the conflict is, personally. Free will doesn't mean you get to decide what is and isn't actually real. It means you get to decide on your actions.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
