Atheism / Satanism

[CuriousInquirer]

Hello CI, welcome

Atheism is simply the rejection of the claim that one or more gods exist. That's it, nothing more. Anything else you try to say about a particular atheist is entirely unfounded.

LeVeyan Satanism is a whole religion, which happens to not involve god worship so its members are likely to be atheist:

So these Satanists are (almost certainly) atheists, but atheists are not in general Satanists. It's like all members of a particular woman's group are women, but not all women are members of that group nor share its ideas.

So how does it differ from atheism, exactly? It seems to me like you're trying to say that Satanism is different because it's a group or cult, which doesn't really make it much different from atheism IMO.
