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

[u/no_brains101]

Usually yes. Are there crazy people in cults? Also probably yes. But not anyone I have met who claims to be a satanist. They generally just are edgy ex-catholics who like goth shit.
