In some denominations of the [[Christian]] faith it is believed that humans were created with free will so that they would choose to believe in and worship [[God]]. Other Christian traditions, such as [[Calvinism]], believe that humans were created without free will, but that God's will determines our choice of him. The issue is theological. It relates to the human's acceptance of God, and does not mean that man is without free will in other respects.

==Free will and punishment==
Some people deny free will but still claim that punishment is necessary to deter harmful behaviour and protect the community. Such people argue that punishment should be the minimum necessary to deter harmful behavior (see [[Corporal punishment]]).
