Default Is Atheism similar to Satanism?

Here are the nine "pillars" of Satanism:

1. Satan represents indulgence as opposed to abstinence.
2. Satan represents existence as opposed to spiritual pipe dreams.
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom, instead of hypocritical self-deceit.
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on the worthless.
5. Satan represents vengeance as opposed to "turning the other cheek".
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible.
7. Satan represents MAN AS JUST ANOTHER ANIMAL, SOMETIMES BETTER, SOMETIMES WORSE.
8. Satan represents all of the "sins", which are good for us.
9. Satan has kept the church in business.
Hey, robot that's pretty neat and clever!

There is only one 'pillar' of atheism: to not believe in a god or gods.

Not really, but I have always thought Satanism was quite sensible.

Whatever you choose to believe, since you already have your imaginary being and having more imaginations about us doesn't make any difference.

Atheism is the lack of belief in deities. So no, it is not similar at all to Satanism, which is an actual religion. Satanists can also be atheists, however.

Atheism is the belief in no God
Satanism is the worshiping of Satan

So, are you suggesting that atheists follow these pillars as well?
I would love to see your proof of that, since not one atheist I know would agree with any of these.

And isn't it interesting that you know so much about Satanism when not one atheist I know would know any of this.
Hmmm...

Atheism, in a broad sense, is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.

so your answer is no

speaking of this "Lavena"? satanism, to some extent yes. it does NOT believe in a Satan as a real entity. it uses the word Satan as a tool, as a symbol that is not to be worshiped but symbol that incorporates these, earthly rules as opposed to Christianity.

Are you really that naive, or are you just trying to pick a fight? Disingenuousness insults everybody involved.

No, they are actually contradictions. Atheism is the belief that there is no higher being, whereas Satanism is the belief in Satan being the higher being. It makes me so upset when I tell people that I'm an Atheist and then they ask if I worship Satan

Atheists do not accept the existence of 'the supernatural'
Satan is allegedly supernatural
God is allegedly supernatural
Therefore Satan is similar to God

Satan: Christianity's attempt to create something evil to make their own deity look not so evil - and failing dramatically.

The Origins of Satanism

http://www.freewebs.com/eridu666/Origins?

Satanism is not a Christian invention
Satanism predates Christianity and all other religions
Satanism is not about spooks, goblins, vampires, Halloween monsters or other related entities
Satanism is not about "evil"
Satanism is not an invention of, or a "reaction" to Christianity
Satanism is not a creation of Anton LaVey
Satanism is not about death
True Satanism is about elevating and empowering humanity to reach equality with the Gods, which was our True Creator (Satan's) intention
"IN THE SECRET OF MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME"
-SATAN
From "Peace Be Unto Him"

Due to centuries of misinformation, lies, and the systematic removal of knowledge, few people these days understand or even know what ?Satanism? really is all about.

Christianity has been at liberty to dictate without any opposition, what they CLAIM Satanism to be. In order to accomplish this, the truth had to be destroyed. The Catholic Church (the original Christian Church, from which all Christian sects have evolved), heinously tortured to death and mass-murdered millions of innocent men, women and children in what was known as "The Inquisition." Some children who were burnt to death in what were known as "witch houses" were as young as two years of age.?

Christians forever rant and rave concerning the "one world order" where all identities, cultures, personal privacy's, and liberties will be lost and humanity, after being systematically bar-coded, will be lumped into a one-world slave state. What they fail to see is how their own so-called "religion" and bible have always been and are the roots of and blueprint for this regime. Everything in the Judeo/Christian Bible has been stolen and corrupted from religions predating Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from hundreds to thousands of years. Through Judaism and its tool of Christianity, all of the original spiritual teachings from around the world, (which are CONCEPTS) have been stolen from, lumped together into the "one," and corrupted into Jewish archetypes and characters and fictitious places. This has given the Jewish people as a whole a false history, political power and "spiritual" authority to which they are not entitled.

The bible is a very powerful subliminal tool to control the masses. One can see this is a man-made work as there are endless contradictions. The bible has been systematically drummed into the minds of the populace from a very early age. A lie must always be enforced as opposed to the truth which can stand on its own. Because spiritual knowledge and occult power have been removed and kept in the hands of a "chosen" few, the unknowing populace has been helpless against it. The agenda here is to create a one-world slave state with the "chosen" few ruling at the top. The perpetrators of course blame Satan to create a necessary distraction, while they use occult power to accomplish their ends. They have a history of stealing from and blaming their enemies for everything they really are and do, while always holding themselves in the highest esteem and innocence.

The original religions now known as "Satanism" (by the way, "Satan" means "enemy" in Hebrew), were all based upon what is known as the "Magnum Opus" or Great Work. The one known as "Satan" is our True Creator God. He was prevented by the other Gods from finishing his work on humanity, that of the godhead. The godhead is physical and spiritual perfection. Now, if you continue to read on, I will prove this.

The serpent is seen everywhere in ancient relics and structures. The serpent was held sacred in all areas of the ancient world. Satan is the God Ea, aka ENKI, one of the first of the Nephilim to arrive on this planet and establish the first civilization. In Sumerian mythology, Enki's symbol was always the serpent.
The serpent represents the DNA, the life force and the kindling and has survived as the emblem of the American Medical Association and Veterinary medicine, where it is symbolic of life and healing. Only with the coming of Judeo/Christianity, has this sacred symbol been desecrated and blasphemed.


Nearly all of us are familiar with the term "fallen." This word has been used copiously by Christian clergy to refer to Satan and his Demons. In truth, "fallen" pertains to the kindling serpent (which has always been associated with our Creator God Satan), which has fallen in humanity as a whole and now lies dormant at the base of the spine. Because of this, humanity as a whole is on a very low level of spiritual understanding. Thoughtless abuses of children and animals, senseless wars, brutality and endless corruption are the results of the fallen serpent. The "Tree of Life" which was stolen from the ancient Pagan religions and found its way into the biblical book of Genesis, was seen in many parts of the ancient world in friezes upon walls of ancient temples.

In Spiritual Satanism, Satan is the true creator of humanity. I've never heard that he is creator of Universe, he might be son of Universe or the Universe itself.

anyone not under the influence of orders given by an invisible man is going to gravitate towards satanic traits naturally since satanism (LaVeyan that is) is essentially just living by what comes natural. I guess the difference is a satanist recognizes it. to correct some of the less informed answers here....satanism could not be further from worship ping Satan. LaVeyan satanists don't even believe in a literal "Satan". so they are atheist, however that does not mean that atheists are satanists.
