Yeah, that said, I'd like to hear more about it myself. I see what
you mean about Satanism and Atheism, although, depending on the exact
form, there may be overlap. Eg. if the form of Satanism is REALLY all
about rejecting God, rather than actively promoting worshiping Satan
as an alternative force in Nature, then it's more like atheism. Also,
the Yezidi view of Satan (as being the one who rules Earth and,
therefore, the one you need to impress FIRST and foremost ('cause he's
more like your line-manager, whereas God, to the Yezidi, is too high
up the chain to ever notice your prayers/requests/desires.)) is, in
some ways, congruent with the concept that God is irrelevant, which is
athistic to an extent.

I bet. Perhaps it would be interesting to ask Satan to reveal God to
you. THAT night might turn out to be a trying night for Satan
(paybacks are always fair and Satan is supposed to be, generally,
lawful, and, if properly bound, would have to comply.). ;-)
