"No free will" is fatalism.

Fatalism is appealing to nihilists, because it "justifies" the act of taking no responsibility, and "just doing everything that feels good".

This also appeals to those who have committed great crimes since "it wasn't my fault, I have no free will, so I am not responsible for my actions".

So naturalism is very appealing to sociopaths, and to those who want humans to not engage in their own lives.

An irony is when the naturalist turns around and blames all sorts of "others' or "them" or "they" - "I'm not responsible, but everyone _else_ is responsible for _my_ problems, so the government better do something".

:D

Ohhh yeah!

Let's say "that particular worldview", lest we come crashing down in a pile of false absolutes ;)
