He's writing from a purely subjective standpoint and he acknowledges his own bias. Also, he's writing to a very narrow audience: those who, like him, are atheistic and refuse to make a leap of faith into the mystical. You can't read Camus as an objective, systematic philosopher who approaches problems as a "right or wrong" proposition.

The intentions of his writings are to:

A) find a way out of nihilism and despair
B) affirm human life in the here and now
C) deal with the Absurd without resorting to spirituality or attempting to "transcend" it
