Free will is often used as an excuse, an ideological dodge.
We think and make decisions based on a number of factors and reasons.
How we think and why we think as we do is the point.
That's called free will...

No.
Agency is debated amongst atheists all the time...
And theists tend to avoid questioning the tennants of their faith.
Decisions are not willed, they are undertaken by the neural architecture of a brain, information processsing, not free will enables our ability to think and act.
