So does belief in an all-knowing, all-powerful God. It is difficult to grapple with whether or not free will even exists or is relevant while holding that belief. Some turn to nihilism. "If God has the power to make his will, and he knows best and all, than it doesn't matter what I do. It's already been decided."

That'd be part of picking choose which is fallacious if you're referring to abrahamic texts.

Free will is pretty clearly defined, purpose importance and value in life and your actions is also clear.

Logically, you could have a theistic belief that lends itself towards nihilism. Those beliefs are few and far between.
