Maybe I find it difficult to grasp because I don't believe we have free will.

Free will, implies we can look away A ->B
B -> C Looking away results in not believing
A ->C We have freedom to not believe.
For example, if I write a book about 30 problems in Quran, a person can chose to ignore it, thus he has choice in his beliefs.
Also, if you believe we can chose to be rational, then we necessarily chose some of our beliefs.
