Existentialism is the term applied to the collective field of philosophy of a number of 19th and 20th century philosophers.
In short, it seeks to deal with one's own existence and the emotions felt by an individual. It also deals with whether or not a supreme being does exist and what the effect of his existence or non-existence would be on an individual.
Philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche offer very different takes on the idea of existentialism. Ultimately, the different types of existentialism rest on the unified idea of examining human existence.
Atheists have friends like anyone else; existentialism is irrelevant.

One disadvantage of existentialism is that it can be seen as leading to a sense of isolation or despair, as it emphasizes individual responsibility for creating meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. Additionally, some critics argue that existentialism's focus on personal freedom and choice ignores the influence of social and cultural factors on human behavior.
