Negative reviews all boiled down to “they didn’t take Christianity seriously,” which I think is pretty funny. A bit late for that?

Yes, I think that’s exactly right… but once you admit that, it’s no longer existentialism as usually understood.

What you suggest here is very much Dreyfus’s position—influenced by Charles Taylor among others.

OTOH, I don’t know of someone typically considered an existentialist who takes the position we’ve just described?
