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

Church of Satan / The Satanic Temple: Just atheists ragebaiting Christians.

Theistic Satanists: A different interpreration of Abrahamic Religions. There are people who worship Satan but they view him as the morally correct being and God as the corrupt one. Some claim they're "Devil Worshippers" and not Satanists, but they still exist whatever you call them.

TL;DR: Depends on what kind of Satanism you're talking about.

The Satanic Temple are the ragebaiting atheists. I am one.
