Why aren’t you an atheist?

The Bible tell us that we all have free will. The Bible also tells us that God is an all knowing and all powerful being that created the Universe.

Then the questions that arise are as follows: How can free will exist if God created the Universe in the exact way he is said to have created it? If God has the power to create the universe in this way then couldn't he have created it in another way? That being the case and given that he is all knowing, doesn't that mean that every action that has ever been taken was known by God to occur the moment he created the Universe? Couldn't he have created a slightly different Universe in which you made a slightly different choice than you did in this Universe? Therefore, how can anything you do be your fault when he created the Universe knowing that you would do exactly what you would do if he created the Universe in the manner that he did?
