Is it possible to be protected when no one has free will

I don't see how "free will" protect us from anything. How will there be a "post free will" world if we never had "free will" in the first place? I am not sure if you really understand what it means that humans have no true free will. Basically the brain is just chemical reactions and there is no randomness in chemical reactions. However, our brains are advanced enough to have the illusion of free will, which serves us almost as well as true free will. The illusion of free will have always been with us evidenced by the countless people believing themselves to have free will since philosophy is a thing. And if you don't know what the illusion of free will is, just go into your closet and randomly pick a shirt to wear tomorrow. The illusion of free will means that what shirt you choose is already determined in a quantum level since the beginning and there isn't really a choice to be made but you would still think you made the choice. My point is that even if everyone accept that we have no free will, it wouldn't really make much drastic changes in the world. And since there won't be a "post free will" world as you mentioned, the government would look pretty much the same as right now. Your questions implied that all those laws about protections and privacy is based on "free will" they aren't concepts built on the lie of free will in the first place; they are what we desire resulted from evolution. There are plenty of countries with little laws that grant us those rights and the fact that we have them is the result of democracy, where people have some say in what they want, and have nothing to do with free will. Prosperity will be the same as it always been because we don't desire prosperity because of free will; we desire them because it satisfy our basic instincts. The concept of free will isn't the basis of crime and punishment. You don't need free will to fear getting arrested by cops or shunned by everyone you know. It is our simple instinct and the idea of the punishment is enough to deter most of us from committing crimes. There is no reason law enforcement would cease if not for free will. Although we have no true free will, we are still making conscious choices. I don't not commit crime because I believe in free will, I don't commit crime because the negative consequences out weight the benefits I get from committing any crime. How does God even factor into this? We ensure our own safety because of evolutionary traits and have nothing to do with God protecting us. There is absolutely no evidence of God besides a book and unreliable human accounts that can't really be considered evidence. Why do you say God protects us? There are countless people sold as sex slaves and remain as one until they die, those abused and traumatized to the point that they can't live a normal life for the rest of their life span. Does God just laugh at them while he cures some cold and help someone get to work on time? What about those who starve to death while praying to God? Why would anyone be sent to hell according to the bible if they have no free will over their action? My point is that we don't need to be protected simply because no one has free will, we protect ourselves. And since you posted some bible quotes, I will post a couple bible verses that is for free will, pretty easy to find since bible contradicts itself all the time. Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. John 7:17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
