Maybe god itself doesn't have free will and is only acting according to a proscribed set of fundamental laws.
That's the point - the christian god is presented as all powerful, all knowing, and all good. The existence of evil in our universe shows that to be a lie.
I think this is a really interesting read on the matter: https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/godTaoist.html
Christianity has gone completely off the rails and isn't the answer, but that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't a god.
