Determinism vs Education

Determinism vs Education
Determinism means Sally will always choose the fork to the left even if she is educated on the option of the fork to the right.

Sally is a theist. At some point, she encounters Bobby who educates her on atheism and supposedly reveals a fork to the right. Unless the fork is already flagged as deterministic for Sally, she will always remain on the theistic path despite now being educated.

This determinism also means that god cannot exist, for theists believe contrary to the logic of determinism that everyone has a choice in the matter of believing in god's existence. But determinism informs us that the atheist will always go down the determined path of non-belief despite being educated on the concept of god.

Discuss.
