I the lack of credible evidence to assume so we can extrapolate for the time being that the answer to all these questions is no.

free will doesnt come with a set of rules or guide lines. Nobody except atheists know what its like to have true freedom. Freedom of mind anyways, societies got all these damn rules too.

Really? I think that that's a bit of a wide claim.

I dont. Every religion has a set of rules and guide lines. With either a punishment or a lack of reward if you dont follow them. Even Buddhism. Now if you developed the same way of life as Buddhism, and didnt know you were a buddhist (which is very rare, if it happens at all). But if you learned the religion to develop your way of life, morals etc. Then you did not express free will. Atheists have free will in that sense. Its your life, you do whatever you want, complete freedom. I can kill, rape, steal, lie, do drugs, have as much and most crazy sex you can think of, i can hate, i can love, I can do anything I want.
I heard one guy describe it as the secret of atheism. But just because I can kill, doenst mean i have, or will.
