French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre identified himself as a representative of an "atheist existentialism" concerned less with denying the existence of God than with establishing that "man needs ... to find himself again and to understand that nothing can save him from himself, not even a valid proof of the existence of God."
Francuski filozof Jean-Paul Sartre sebe je smatrao predstavnikom "ateističkog egzistencijalizma", manje zabrinut oko negiranja postojanja Boga, a više oko shvaćanja da "čovjek...sebe treba ponovno pronaći kako bi shvatio da ga ništa ne može spasiti od njega samoga, čak ni valjani dokazi božje opstojnosti".
