If you were created by a God for a Purpose, then that is your true purpose whether you choose to embrace it or not, and it is intrinsic. You could think that your existence is absurd, but your ignorance of the purpose doesn't really qualify as purposelessness.
My point is merely that atheism seems to be a premise or prerequisite to Sartre's thoughts, rather than their conclusion. If there is a God (in the most common sense), then your life doesn't belong solely to you to create. If you weren't already sure that there was no God, then you can't really affirm that existence is absurd.
