Religion doesn’t assume that people have free will, nor does it assume that everything is part of god’s plan. This isnt agreed upon by every religion, its not even agreed upon by Christians specifically. What is your point?
I don’t think OP explicitly said what you complain about. I didn’t read the post as “all religion is like that”. But some of it is. So this post seems to be about the specific groups which make these assumptions and hold these beliefs. The combination of both beliefs is fairly common across many religions and sects.
Yes, I believe that’s what they meant. My problem was more that it wasn’t specified. This community is mostly for arguments against theism, if this doesn’t apply to all theism then its just an argument against a specific belief and should be presented as such. I think the default here should be all religion as the topic, and it should be specified if its not.

I guess the point is the apparent contradiction. It is a prominent topic in religious philosophy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theological_determinism#Free_will_and_theological_determinism
