Quote:LaVeyan Satanism is a religion founded in 1966 by the American occultist and author Anton Szandor LaVey.Nothing to do with atheism
Quote:LaVey was an atheist, rejecting the existence of all gods.Yup and his dogma has nothing to do with atheism even if he was an atheist .
Quote:The church does not believe in the Devil, nor a Christian or Islamic notion of Satan. Peter H. Gilmore describes its members as "skeptical atheists", embracing the Hebrew root of the word "Satan" as "adversary". The church views Satan as a positive archetype who represents pride, individualism, and enlightenment, and as a symbol of defiance against the Abrahamic faiths which LaVey criticized for what he saw as the suppression of humanity's natural instincts.In other words a loopy cult imposing stuff onto atheism that has nothing to do with atheism
