In “Existentialism is a Humanism” by Jean-Paul Sartre, he explains his take on existentialism through an atheist’s point of view. His also describes humans are in charge of life decisions and are responsible for other people around them. There is no good or bad in his world but, the choices you make are valued as good.

Sartre claims one thing and then believes another like he is afraid to admit the truth. In the end, I do not agree with his idea on life and I do not believe it is true what he
