I don't think there is much doubt that believing in free will has advantages. Ignorance after all they say is bliss.
I think humanity has evolved to a crossroads, do we face the reality of who we are, or carry on in our comfortable existence. But when I look at our broken down world, I know that only embracing reality can possibly be a way ahead, when I look at recent news stories about conservative systems and how they treat women for instance, then I know the status quo is not good enough. Its time to stop being the normal, and be the extraordinary, even if that change means chaos for a while. After all democracy and equality was paid for with chaos and blood. In the end I don't believe evolution will allow us to stand still, it certainly hasn't in the past.

Ignorance after all they say is bliss. That is evolution, it's not an intelligent thing, it supports those who are physically the strongest and more able to impose their will. Amazing that your god (supposedly an intelligence) would endorse it or make it that way though, seems he too is at the mercy of survival of the fittest. The point is now it is being challenged and we can look forward I hope to a better future for both our young men and women. It wont be easy though, truth never is.

Yeah very few people have ever argued that we should base our morals off of evolution. Evolution is not the atheist's god.

In the BDSM scene (which includes Christian BDSM), female submissives are rare and male subs are a dime a dozen because there are so many of them. There are far more male subs than male doms. And you can't explain this as being about sex because it doesn't happen in a BDSM club. It's about the need to dominate or to submit.

It seems that comes up quite a bit (in my experience), for those trying to find an objective basis for morality from an atheistic viewpoint.
