    Whether you believe in free will or not is dependent on how you classify you.

    If you believe you consist of everything that’s inside yourself, you ought to believe in free will because there is no external actor making your choices.

    If you think your conscious thoughts are different from the processes your brain and microbiota influencing it you probably either don’t believe in free will or think that information your conscious thought access is processed elsewhere.

    Our brains do processing all the time, we access only the part of it. You do things without conscious effort because of that but it’s still you doing things of your free will.
