A thing about religious (and other) people and the illusion of free will

I meant real as in other than a concept and something that is there physically and not an illusion. Something that exists beyond the state of being of being a mere thought and having some physical existence, like how the brain works in terms of free will.

Does that make sense?

It does, but I still think it's wrong. Airplanes are real things that you will not find in nature, as are autos, satellites, and so on. They're all quite unnatural, and all quite real.

My objection is not about free will per se. It's about the assertion that what is man-made is not real.
