Free will doesn't need a higher plane of existence. It's just the name we give to how we experience the result of a complex decision engine, our brains. I have no doubt we'll be able to make an AI in the future with morals and apparent free will, that will be able to learn and grow.
I guess Compatibilism best describes me.
You don't need religion for morals. I actually have more faith in atheist's morals than those of religious people.
