A friend alerted me to this article by the philosopher William Irwin:

“William James famously remarked that his first act of free will would be to believe in free will. Well, I cannot believe in free will, but I can accept it. In fact, if free will fictionalism is involuntary, I have no choice but to accept free will. That makes accepting free will easy and undeniably sincere. Accepting the reality of God or morality, on the other hand, are tougher tasks, and potentially disingenuous.”

Read the article here.

An interesting thought, it’s easier to accept free will than God or morality.

One should be able to buy free will in a department store. Or at least, one should be able to rent it.
