When I went to HS in TX, they even lost their shit just because I wore all black, and they thought that might be satanist. I can't imagine what they'd done if I had actually told them so.

You see - that's because your parents didn't love you enough to give you an education.
Is this supposed to be some new trolling technique? Are we supposed to shudder at the mere thought of being compared to satanists? Because - personally - I couldn't give a toss...
From a belief point of view - Christianity and Manson Family are the same. Bunch of idiots committing atrocities in the name of a hippie lunatic, believing he's a god. So go, pray to Charlie, or whatever gives you that lovely warm feeling of being someone's b**ch...

I think we all learnt something today.
I learnt about Christianity and pencil sharpeners, and how they are the same thing.
I think it is awesome when the Satanists go out and parody religion by simply invoking the same rights Christians want, to prove a point. It could be considered childish, but it's legitimate nonetheless. No one gets to say it's "not a real religion". And since christianity often uses very childish, dishonest tactics, a childish but honest approach seems a reasonable counter. They need reminding that "religion" and "christianity" are not one and the same thing.

No it doesn't/isn't. What you're saying is demonstrably absurd.
In fact, show me how lacking a belief in something requires you to believe. Show us all the thought process there, because to me that's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen posted on the Internet.

That wasn't my question though. So far no one has cited a single difference between the philosophical views of atheism and Satanism. From a (non)belief they're exactly the same.
Ok, here's one.
There is no philosophy for atheism.
Your question has been answered, several times, and your point made moot.

What rob stated there is common knowledge. Hmm, I think you're an idiot.
You have found what you were looking for. So determined to get your preconceptions confirmed that you neglected to switch your brain on. Well, that happens...
