    The concept of free will is way older than Christianity. Even the story of the Garden predates Christ, as does the book of Job which addresses free will directly. And the concept of a “clockwork” universe is quite out of date too. Many phenomena are probabilistic while some phenomena have no cause at all (big bang).

      st augustine didn’t even call it freewill, later catholic scholars came up with that bullshit.
