That would mean I can't go to the place of worship, I may not be able to read the religious text and I have free will taken away from me. The 'lesser of two evils' is to prevent me from being kidnapped. The deity demonstrates its existence, I have my free will preserved and a person(s) is prevented from committing a sin. It's a win for everyone involved.
You got kidnapped, your being held at a different location than you live. At 2:00 AM the place you live blows up from a natural gas leak, if you had been there you would have die. the kidnappers are unsure what is happening and let you go because they became very nervous about the situation. You live happily ever after.
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.
