Re: "Is Free Will Incompatibility with Atheism?"
@Rochelimit I would argue that the question can then be simplified to: is there something that is not deterministic? If no, then there is no good way for free will to exist, if yes, then the only thing our will has to do is reach that non-deterministic aspect and let it influence the decision making.
Maybe the mind is already capable of reaching these unpredictable aspects, I don't know.

So in my opinion, free will could exist, but it is not effortless.

Is Free Will Incompatibility with Atheism? — I’d be interested in hearing what people here think. It seems to me that if we live in a purely material universe all of our thoughts are a product of the neurochemistry going on in our brain. This leaves little for free will to exist. Please feel free to explain your reasoning for belief for or against.
