Which of the following best explains Sartre’s comment that existentialism is not

a version of atheism?

a. Existentialism goes further and deeper than atheism in characterizing the nature of human existence and human freedom.

 

b. While atheism promotes hatred of God, existentialism fosters a love and respect for God even if that does not mean God’s laws dictate every aspect of human morality.

 

c. Existentialists find only despair in their failure to find a reason to believe in God; by contrast, atheists are proud of their rejection of God.

 

d. Unlike atheism, if it were possible to ever reach a fully realized version of existentialism, the need as well as the desire to prove that God does indeed exist would come into play.

e. There are existentialists who do believe in God, and in their rejection of atheism they assert that essence does in fact precede existence.
