Well, I'm a little late in this thread... I agree 100% with Unseen World, Bhutocracy, and Joe Sixpack.
There is no free will, as explained by Unseen World. I tend to take the Lockian viewpoint that there's no action without cause. We don't make arbitrary decisions in anything. Even our most unconcious small physical movements are done for a reason. We're nothing more than products of our environments and genetics.
On the other hand, as bhutocracy said, we can't use this lack of freedom as an excuse for our crimes and our laziness.
And, as Joe Sixpack said, atheists are NOT dogmatists. The essence of atheism is open-mindedness. We reject dogma rather than (as most people perceive us) accepting a dogma opposite that of the accepted norm.
