What don't you understand? Mine isn't a dodge, but a precise answer.

An agent is free to do what their will dictates. If I'm holding you prisoner and restricting your movements and making most of your choices for you, then you are no longer a free agent.

The distinction is the choice to so something (will) and the ability to do it (agency).

To repeat, we have no free will, but we are free agents.

To be clear, there isn't any reference to belief or faith in what I'm saying here.
