You have no free will. You are a machine that acts as it has to act. This isn't anything to do with religion.
You are a free agent to act as your will dictates.
Of course an omniscient being knows what choices you made. That doesn't affect your choices.
You can't not do X from Gods POV, but you don't know Gods POV, so your choice isn't affected by it.
You do realize that make you a compatibilist, right? It's fine by me, as I lean toward compatibilism myself. The problem is holding to that position creates more critical problems in your worldview. After all, under compatibilist free will, God could have determined a universe with no evil, and still preserve that compatibilist free will.
