You mean the disaster of religious people?
They had forgotten their God, and began practicing religion with other nonexistant gods made of wood and stone, they wanted the sex they thought God was denying them.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
