If I can't do something without consequences (from law or others) I'm not free to do something. Simple as that. I'm physically able to not go to work tomorrow, no divine punishment will fall on me if I will do it either but that does not mean I'm free to do so as I would be fired (well, maybe not on first day).
Human condition is to be constrained whether by morals, law, birth, wealth or any other factor. Colloquially people may say that they're free but few if any actually are.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
