Not really when you're talking to American atheists who know jack shit about logic or reason.

Their fanciful beliefs are inferior to your fanciful beliefs in what way? Did Satan not have enough burning bushes? Satan didn't demand enough blood sacrifice? Not enough worldwide genocide? Satan didn't execute his own son?
Tell me, what is it about any given religion that makes it "legitimate" enough to be placed in a public forum and paid for by everyone ... even those who worship differently??
Please do enlighten us oh King Stupid.
Oh look. The retard of Atheist Forums who continues to shit on the image of atheists worldwide. Christians can just sit back and read their Bibles because pieces of shit like yourself. I never have to defend my beliefs with you because of your severe lack of secular knowledge.
I'm not Hindu, moron.
Because Satanism is a parody religion. No one actually believes in it; they just use it to mock Christianity. Seeing it as legitimate would be akin to believing the articles from The Onion. I also would give Hinduism more legitimacy than say modern religions like Mormonism and Scientology even though it would be logically fallible to base it's legitimacy on the length of its existence.

Even though paganism began to be banned in certain forms dating back to Constantine the Great (including Gratian and Valentinian II who further distanced the Roman Empire from its pagan roots), Theodosius I brought it to the level of outright persecution.
Correct. But before he did that he cracked down on heretical xtians... heretic in that case being anyone who did not believe as he did.
Which remains pretty much the same definition of "heretic" as we have today.
