"In the case of Abrahamic religionists, most (except for Calvinists) have
to believe in libertarian free will, the kind where, if you could
rewind history at a 'decision point', with everything
absolutely identical to before, you still could have done something
differently from what you did. Without that ability to choose between 'right' and 'wrong,' Christianity, Judaism, and Islam collapse, for what
kind of God would reward or punish you in the afterlife if you couldn’t
have 'chosen otherwise'?"
ID advocates mock determinism, insist on libertarian free will and human exceptionalism
