Satan is supposed to be an angel who was chucked out of heaven for being a naughty boy, atheism is a state of not believing that god(s) exist, therefore, go god, no heaven no satan.
Silly question!
There is considerable overlap. Satanists (particularly of the LaVey) don’t believe that Satan exists and don’t worship him. The view him rather as a symbol of individuality, freedom, responsibility, and so on. The Satanic Temple is much the same, but more socially conscious.
There’s actually no conflict in the term ‘atheistic Satanist’.
