The thing is that free will tends to be tied into fate.

Going by that standard, we do not have free will.

But I am an anti-theist who does not rely upon fate.

Therefore, consider free will being the ability to act at one's own discretion, as provided by a dictionary.

Considering this secular definition, free will does exist. It means we each have the choice between one action or another.
