Quote:If you believe in the biblical Satan, you most certainly are not an Atheist. I mean, just by definition.
The form of Satanism that is atheistic was created by Anton LeVay.
"LaVeyan Satanism does not involve the literal worship of any being other than the self, but rather uses "Satan" as a symbol of carnality and earthly values, of man's inherent nature, and of a cosmos which Satanists perceive to be permeated and motivated by a force that has been given many names by man over the course of time"
Still pretty silly, but not based on Christianity.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
