The thing with existentialisim is that you view media clearly and understand how it controls society. Mostpeople (to coin an e. e. cummings phrase) don't realise that everything we're shown in the media is carefully selected and presented. Understanding this control is one of the major aspects of existentailism - it has to do with reality and the realisation of the individual.
Also, most existentialists are atheists,if that makes you feel better.
