religion as a moral hook means existentialists are held to a a higher morality than that of the theists. Beauvoir tried to set up a cohesion on morality and freedom in "The Ethics of Ambiguity". In short, one must integrate others freedom into their own life project as it were. The only pinch-point problem in this is that it must be universally willed, thus extinguishing liberty if prescribed. So, no meaning actually does allow us "no morals"; if not, where did morals come from?

Altho he was an atheist, in his Critique of Dialectical Reason (Vol.I) he wrote as an aside that being baptized was better than never being baptized, because you grow up a member of a church, which, for Sartre, was a special form of groupness. He was really alluding to his own upbringing, which was in the Roman Catholic Church.

@lourak The collective recognition that all values are subjective and all beliefs are personal choice, is the only path of hope towards a world without war between ideologies.
War between religions is no different than children arguing which is better: vanilla or chocolate icecream.
Ironically, fighting for high idealism is the most pointless of all pointlessness.

No se puede morir en nombre de nadie, hermano ...la muerte es algo personal y solo los que quedan vivos pueden imaginarse semejante fantasía como es la de creer que otro se muere en nombre de algo o de alguien.

........la estupidez humana es lo unico que no tiene limites ademas del universo
no meaning doesn't mean no morals. some people prefer to come to an understanding about the world through their own means instead of being fed some ridiculous, unfounded mythology to base how they live their lives.

As a Christian, his ideas don't offend me at all. It's merely different.
