Here's how I understand it-Kierkegaard figured free will was essential to Christianity. Existentialism does not presume a creator so it's the only philosophical stance that allows for true free will. Therefore existentialism is essential to Christianity.

ding ding ding....wrong.
God allows free will, and believing in the death, burial and resurrection as all you needed to be reconciled to God by GRACE thru faith is all you need to make salvation YOURS.

I think yoou have a good hold on it, but I'll give a little more concise summary. Existentialism teaches that reality is inherently meaningless. Conscious beings give their own meanings to these things, and act accordingly. TThe second big point, is that everyone has free will. Existentialism believes that you have absolute control over your actions, and that your choices are determined by nothing but you. Thus, no one but you, is responsible for your actions.

No. Because Christian free will is limited to subligating themselves to the will of God.
