Religion (Christianity in particular) is known for highjacking people's freedom for centuries (you'll either believe in god or we'll kill you), so free will can't come from religion. So, if god gave us the freedom to choose what to believe, that makes him an atheist.
What do you think about that thought?
The freedom for us to be self determined is spatially based. All God has to do is provide the space (and order it) for us to move and have our being.
No self doubt is required on God's part.
You give one modern, generalized example then extrapolate that to all religions, then extrapolate that to God? I've seen theists with better logic trains....not many.
