I find that they have been an essential voice for atheist equality while also putting the religious masses in their place(specifically Christianity).
I am an atheist, and I would be considered satanic. The premise of satanism is that humans are just animals. There are no supernatural aspects of satanism. Ritual can be included in satanism, but that’s just something to do. Like a party game, reading, just an activity to fill time or for fun.
I believe “satan” is a biblical character that gives its followers amunition to disuade others, who may think the bible is fantasy, more ammunition. But, I am Agnostic- so, who really knows anything.
I think it's silly but they have done a lot of good recently. TBH, other than enjoying the heavy metal aspect of it, I could really care less.
I'm not an atheist, more in the I don't know or no labels category.
Satan believes in God, conflicts with atheists lack of belief in God definition.
What are atheist going to do ave Satan:. Then kill the fear factor to fear God and Satan. Since fear is the base of monolithic Religion, Nonsense.
Everything I have read about them has been positive. They try to strengthen the separation between church and state with lawsuits when religious organizations step outside the rules of the first amendment.
Satanism maybe fine people maybe more ethnical than monolithic Religion. Although they are two sides of the coin. Atheist are not made from the same mold.
Atheist aim is in Science - to observe
Religion aim is to fear for control & power.
An artist aim is to please. US already has registered atheism as a Religion. That mean you get tax exempt when you gather an assembly.
Artist need a tax break most, since we are the poorest of the poor. Artist started cultures and civilization long before Religion. Then Science came long long after thought. Great art is spiritual and has a branch of science to it. Why don't you guys get on your knees and kiss our boots for a change.
if one doesn't exist then neither does the other. good and bad is within you nothing more. I always think of tom and jerry with a demon on one shoulder and an angel on the other.
They are a non theistic religion and don’t believe in Satan. They use him as a literary icon of rebellion against tyranny. No gods or superstition involved.
