Free will is only entagled when the concept of God is invoked. Without God, we would all get about our constant business of making choices. We all do this; however, some choose to place accountabilty for choices on God or Satan.
When a person makes a choice that enhances their situation, God is given credit. When the decision results in undesirable ends, Satan is to blame. Notice that the human decision maker isn't accountable for anything. Many have posited that the believer has an inordinate fear of mortality; I posit that the believer has a fear of the consequence of his/her everyday choices.
