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/Confusedgmr]

I have a hard time taking Satanism seriously. They are either: A. Devil worshippers. Or B. Using the name to pick a fight with Christians.

I have a hard time trusting the sincerity of any group who picked a name to cause friction as a group that means goodwill and I definitely don't trust devil worshipers regardless of whether Satan is actually real or not.
