Free will is covered pretty extensively on this site, although as the wiki page suggests, it can be a useful experience to work out for yourself.

Consciousness is probably the least open-and-shut case of the three. Some reading is available here, but it might be quicker to deal with the question by asking this.
Is the entirety of the consciousness contained in a supernatural entity? That is, is it an irreducible mental thing?

However, note that a necessary instruction is missing. You have to disregard the possibility of a theory of non-deflationary naturalistic libertarianism
