In my opinion, only atheistic materialists can presume the existence of free will; theists are trapped by fatalistic, divine foreknowledge, which led John Calvin to conclude that even some individuals who die in infancy are predestined to eternal Hell.
Well, you assume theists are also trapped by the need for rigor, accuracy, and internal consistency.
For them truth is what they really really want things to be, evidence is what they chose to label as evidence, and logic is what they assert as the connection between what they say is evidence to what they say is the inevitable conclusion.
