If "free will" is offered as a justification for any god claim then it becomes central, not ancillary, to the main point. "Good conversation" isn't likely to involve invoking fantasy and then supporting it with fantasy (unless the subject is fantasy). Nor is it likely to involve a game of philosophical scrabble. Nor is it likely to involve any sort of control or guidance on the part of those who would assert nonsense and then get pissy when bullshit is called, demanding that those who do not swallow the koolaid refrain from approaching their bullshit from every possible angle.
"Good conversation" isn't likely to invoke god as an actual entity at all, but that's just my two cents.
