So it's not necessary that something has to have evidence to be rational to believe (per majority of humans). In Islam, it was taught it was in the nature of humanity to know God. So from that perspective, no evidence is required.
There is evidence to suggest that we don't actually have free-will... From this, I don't believe we have free-will.
There is evidence from naturalism perspective. In fact, it seems almost certain that we don't and things like "well at the bottom level there is no cause and effect" doesn't change anything with regards to how the brain functions and identifying free-will.
Therefore free-will, if we know to be true, would be an argument against naturalism (ie. need of a soul).
As there is evidence naturalism is true (evidence of bad design, evidence of evolution, God being shy, etc), there is in general evidence of free-will not being true.
Silll humanity refuses to believe in this notion for the most part.
Why don't we have a category of people called "Afreewillist" that people take seriously

Most of humanity will believe in free-will, despite the scientific and psychological evidence that we have none.
Compatibilism in all seriousness, is a joke, it's an oxymoron.

That's because you are a rational Atheist. Most Atheists however are faithful like the believers
