    Satanism is essentially politically active atheism, though yes it IS a religion as well. Atheism describes what I am not, a believer in god. Satanism describes what I am, pro-secularism, pro-equality, pro-justice, pro-bodily autonomy, pro-acceptance, pro-science, pro-rationality, pro-kindness. How could a fellow atheist possible disagree with the point Satanists are making here? You put your religious crap in a government building, then you MUST treat all religions equally and put in a Satanic display as well. You make christian after school clubs, we make after school Satan clubs. You strip people of their bodily autonomy based on your book, we fight for it back with our Tenets.

    Atheists don’t support religions

    Says who? The King of Atheists? There is no authority figure, you can’t generalize. Atheists tend to not support religion when it encourages and normalizes violence, hate, and infringes upon the freedoms and rights of others. Satanism does NOT do that, it fights for our rights BACK. It holds a mirror to these evangelical conservatives. No Atheist is going to hate on a religion built on values based on kindness, acceptance, justice, and rationality. That’s a job for Christians. Respectfully, take the stick out of your ass and open your mind a bit. Take time to learn before you speak. If you, as an Atheist, truly do not or rather refuse not to see the point in this, then you’re already lost.
