Virtually every human alive has a will and uses it all of the time. Perhaps some severely mentally handicapped individuals are unable to exercise their wills, but they may have a will.
The question comes down to how free a person's will is. There are some people who believe that humans are born with a pure soul untainted by sin in any form and that sin resides within the social environment of the individual. That was the prevalent thought in the twentieth century. The theory was that because humans are good, it would only be a matter of time and some effort before society became good and all the problems of society would disappear. That included religion, which was considered a nuisance, at best, and a serious peril at worst because it led people to see themselves as sinners.
The result was, of course, World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II, all of which combined resulted in our present state of affairs, which seems to be none too rosy.
So, my question to you is - are people born sinners or are they born innocent and pure? If they are born innocent and pure why do they use their free wills to become sinners?
