I know, just stating my opinion on it. It makes me very uncomfortable. Anyone is free to say what they like, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have consequences when it starts to go beyond the occasional joke, but an entire page of Satan worshipping nonsense.

Tell fundamentalists to get a fucking sense of humor.
End of story.
Oh, I agree completely, but its not likely to happen soon.
Considering also, that a curious fundamentalist making a google search brings up the phrases and jokes out of context., and it won't look like a joke.
A mother whose son rejects the fundamentalist point of view is going to go batshit that their son needs saved from their rejection of God. Adding to the stereotype that we don't reject God, but instead worship Satan is far more harmful.
Like I said, isolated incidents mean nothing, but I note that it seems to become more prevalent as an attitude, at which point it does foster a dangerous image of atheism, and indirectly affecting those who are surrounded by those who believe in this image.
