As usually understood on LW, "free will" is a relatively simple property of reasoning during decision-making. As such, it's not clear what does the statement "there is no free will" mean, and correspondingly how the belief in this statement works, if using the conventional-on-LW sense of "free will". If this is not the sense you are working under, you should introduce the sense that you do use in the post.
