There are two primary camps in Satanism, theistic and non-theistic. The large majority of Satanists are non-theistic, as in we do not believe in gods, devils, afterlives, and magic.

So non-theistic Satanists are basically atheists?

I am not quite Familiar with Right/left decomcratic/liberal and conservative politics, I am not American or know how western politics work and their terminologies

And also why the name “Satanist” if the community is about pacifism and humanitarian? I have no doubt they and you are good ppl but I’m intreasted on who was and why the founder of this 100 year old religion chose to name it after the universal embodiment of evil, in every culture

I respect everyone’s beliefs and I mean this in no insulting matter at all because I really don’t know But what do “Satanists” believe in? Do they believe in Satan? Which Satan? The Christian or Islamic one? From some other religion? And if a Satanist does believe in Satan, does that mean they do believe in the existence of a God? Since the existence of a “Satanic” being would also warrant the belief in the existence of a divine one? Just here for open minded discussion with ppl of different beliefs u can msg if u aren’t comfortable sharing ur beliefs publicly
