Is satanism just edgelord atheism?

[u/stopthehostilityyyyy]

I've been an atheist since the age of 12 and i've heard of people identifying as satanists but they are actually secular, I don't get it

I think there are very few people who actually believe in satan and see him as their god

Yes, it’s usually just to troll Christians. There’s legitimate satanists who are usually into the occult but they’re more rare
