The Atheist Existentialism is a kind of existentialism which became evident after the publication, in 1943, of The Being and the Nothingness of Jean-Paul Sartre. But also previously Sartre whrote works in the spirit of atheistic existentialism, i.e. the novel Nausea (1938) and the short stories in his 1939 collection The Wall. After Sartre in such spirit are the works of Albert Camus and also Simone de Beauvoir can be considered a writer in the spirit of atheist existentialism.
The novel The Nausea is in some ways a manifesto of atheism in existentialism and is an important books in this way. Sartre deal with a dejected researcher (Antoine Roquentin) in a anonymous french town, where Roquentin becomes conscious of the fact that the vegetable nature as a root tree, and obviously every inanimate objects, are indifferent towards him and his tormented existence. Besides they show to be totally extraneous to any human meaning, while no human conscience can see something significant in them.
