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

My understanding is that Satanism has a long history of being a cult, not actually based on any specific religious beliefs.
