Kierkegaard (one of the earliest existentialists) was also a Christian, and so he believed that existentialism could work in a world ruled over by God. This opinion has not been popular among later existentialists.
Nietzsche's declaration that God is dead was meant to signify that people no longer looked to God for answers, but now we look to science as our new religion, and the scientists are our new God. In a way, Nietzsche was advocating not just Atheism, but disbelief in any system that attempts to bring answers, as the proper method of being an individual.
My personal belief is that atheism is a necessary part of existentialism, because by submitting your will to that of a higher a power, you are turning yourself into an object of his control. It all hinges on the very shaky question of whether free will is possible in a world with God.
