From a Christian worldview, they believe God provides the greatest freedom. It follows the notion that sin/bad habits/actions God tells us to avoid, will create in the long run habits/views/actions that consume an individual, put them in a situation they seemingly cant escape from or hinder them. So doing whatever on chooses, while that seems like ultimate freedom, has negative repercussions, whether they are identified or not, because one has more opportunity to run into lifes pitfalls. Following God, allows one to avoid the pitfalls in life and avoid those pitfalls in life that harm you in the long run, and allow you to circumvent the ills of the world, to some extent, because no way an individual is ever perfect.
For the evolution argument, evolution occurs within species all the time, a bird adapts to it environment and changes etc., but a bird is always a bird. I'd be interested to see science pinpoint a time when one species evolved into another species. However, the notion of instinct, pre-written data within a species DNA. How did a caterpiller "learn" or "evolve" into knowing how to build a cocoon, and then have the ability to nail the genetici metamorphosis to turn into a butterfly. Some of these questions I think of quite a bit. Also, when the theory of evolution was developed, what was known of molecular biology was poultry to what is known today. Cells were believed to be of utter simplicity and evolved into more complexity. Cells however carry the complexity of something far beyond original comprehension. To evolve to this status begs the question of how did this data become "self-learned" or "self-aware to learn". I think I am on a tangent now.
Lastly, to believe there is no God, takes the exact same amount of faith as the individual who believes in God. Agnostics have more of a reasonable argument to say "I am not sure" then those that are adamant a creator or higher power does not exist.
