as far as i know, NONE of those guys believed in god, they had their own idea of what a god is to them personally. And im sorry that us atheists have our own sense of humor when it comes to religion, but thats just us. and about the satan thing, i relate to the modern form of satanism which is atheistic. so we believe that satan is an archetype not an actual being. so i take it that you are christian and believe in god and that would also include satan, so on my standing i would redirect the question towards you.
Yes, I do believe that satan exists. What is that that distinguishes a satanist from any other attheists? I assume that when you say that satan is archetype that means that you model yourself after satan.
"distinguishes a satanist from any other attheists" - is the belief system, atheistic satanism is derived from the satanic bible by Anton Szandor LaVey. and other forms of satanism do believe in satan however... it is not the same satan of the bible. that is a mistake that many theists conclude about satanism.
and yes i do believe we are models of the archetype satan, as in liars, grief, deceit etc... but also in my own point of view, my idea of "god" is simply knowing the good or what is better.
So what evidence do you have that god and satan exist?

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.
