An excellent discussion of existentialist philosophy, written for the general public, is in William Barrett's, Irrational Man (1958).
In the U.S.A., the book is widely available in libraries, in new-book stores, and in major used-book stores. There are 6 general characteristics of existentialism. These characteristics include existence before essence, reason is unable to deal with the depths of life, alienation, fear and trembling or anxiety, the encounter with nothingness, and freedom.
Essentialism is the belief that things have a set of inherent characteristics that define them, while existentialism emphasizes individual experiences, choices, and freedom in defining one's essence and meaning in life. Essentialism focuses on the essence of things, while existentialism focuses on existence and personal responsibility.
The two main types of Existentialism are Christian Existentialism, which integrates religious beliefs with existential ideas, and Atheistic Existentialism, which rejects the concept of a higher power or divine order in favor of individual freedom and responsibility.
Atheists have friends like anyone else; existentialism is irrelevant.
It does no such thing ! You may want to read about philosophy to learn what existentialism is.
Existentialist epistemology is, like most existentialism, based on personal choice - i.e. a choice to believe.
