Was Sartre a pious believer or an atheist?
scholars I apologize for asking such a question, as anyone who has read Sartre, and not merely to read the covers of books as some existentialists retrograde and reactionary, he knows exactly what the answer is correct, but let it be the same Sartre who tell us: In his book titled defense of existentialism Sartre: "Existentialism is a Humanism" writes: "What complicates things is that there are two kinds of existentialists: the first, who are Christians, including which I would place Jaspers and Gabriel Marcel, of the Catholic faith, and on the other hand, the atheistic existentialists, among whom we must place Heidegger, as well as the French existentialists and myself. "also says:" Existentialism I represent an atheist is more consistent. declares that if God does not exist, so Menosuno being in which existence precedes essence, a being which exists before it can be defined by any concept, and that this being is man or as Heidegger says, human reality. What is here that existence precedes essence? Means that the man begins to exist, is, arises in the world, and then defined. The man as the existentialist conceives him, if not identity, is because it starts with being nothing. It will only be later, and will talcomo is made. So there is no human nature because there is no God to conceive it. "And later adds:" And when we talk about homelessness, Heidegger face expression, we mean only that God does not exist, and that this must be removed the final consequences ". and if some ignorant existentialist and stubborn in doubt, Sartre says in that book, "Dostoyevsky wrote:" If God did not exist, everything would be permitted. "This is the starting point of existentialism. In fact, everything is permissible if God does not exist and therefore The man is deserted, because there is no or yes or out of it a chance to hold on. " Also in Sartre's literary works are references to atheism, as evidenced by Sartre's book "The Devil and God": "Goetz: I have been wondering during this time, every moment, who I was, in front of the eyes of God .. . At this point I know the answer: God does not see me, I do not listen, I do not know ... Do you see this gap on our heads Well that's God ... See that hole in the ground? Is God. God is the solitude of men ... I, I just decided to do evil, then I have only decided to do good ... I accuse me today, I can only absolve. Yo, man ... If God exists, man is nothing. If there is a man ... "I think these quotes are enough to prove the atheism of Sartre and refute those memos and confused" Sartre believers "(sic), expressed as self-contradictory and hollow as materialistic idealism" or "State Anarchist showing that these insane irrational need someone to "opens" to stop being ridiculous, that they look embarrassed.
