Not really what the article is saying though. The big implication that I got from it is that none of our actions is actually conscious. We are literally made up of atoms, which react automatically to the world in very complex ways, then a memory of these actions is seen by the conscious mind, and fools it into thinking they were conscious actions

That simply means, by their definition, the subconscious is playing the role of what we think of as the conscious. As someone said earlier - splitting hairs.
Again, not really. Unless you fully accept that consciously or subconsciously, we have absolutely zero free will.
