In the context of such a Being, there can logically be no free will. If you buy into the rubbish that God created the universe, then God knew, from the beginning of time, that I would be an atheist - I had no choice in the matter, just as you had no choice in believing the most outlandish collection of fairy stories ever inflicted on the western world. If God made everything, then God made me an atheist, made you a believer, made rapists, torturers, and murderers. God is directly responsible for evil, full stop.

I can't agree with you on that. God made us with the capacity to make our own choices. We alone decide what choices they are going to be. In no way does God make the choices. You chose to be an atheist totally on your own. God didn't coerce you into your choice and doesn't own your decision.
