  Not really. The satanic aesthetic is more decoration and vibes for ritualized atheism.

  There are multiple schools of Satanic worship but they all are pretty explicit in divorcing themselves from Christian lore and dogma. It’s not just “choosing the other side”, it’s an actually separate religion. There’s a political side too, but that’s even more optional.

    You’re mixing up satanists and Satan worshippers. Satanists are indeed atheists taking a piss on christians

      My mistake. Sometimes I wish they chose more distinct names

        It’s provocative, it gets the people going

    Then they wouldn’t be called “Satan worshippers” now, would they?

      That’s part of the game. They’re reveling in the pearl clutching that claiming to literally worship Satan causes. The actual focus of their worship is more a philosophical ideal of the self and spiritual independence.

      The new Satanic Temple reveres a wider pantheon of pagan dieties that the Christians all called Satan but had their own individual cults. It’s more of a safe place for them to practice their own faiths while in community with eachother.

        I understood and understand your point, I just don’t think any satanist actually calls themself a satan worshipper other than maybe in jest.

    Christians are the only ones that believe in Satan.

    No, satanists do not believe in Satan.

      Islam and Judaism believe in the same old testament so there’s two other possibilities.

        Christians and Muslims are just jews 2.0 and 2.5.

        Very true, but I believe those to be very rare - with quick online search I could not easily find any information about Judaistic or Islamic Satan worshippers

        That could be simply because I’m limited to English speaking parts of internet though
