Quote:Even a Satanist at least believes that Satan exists.It would have been pretty interesting if they had thrown satanism into the mix. I'm very curious how it would be received compared to atheism. From my experience in the Bible belt, there isn't much distinction between atheism and "satanism". Both are seen as distant out-groups characterized by immorality.

The average American may trust an Iraqi immigrant more than they trust an atheist in theory, but which do you suppose will actually face more discrimination in practice?
Funnily though, Satanism generally has very little to do with "Satan". If anything, Satan is nothing but a somewhat esoteric mascott for Satanism. There are, of course, people who believe in and/or worship satan. However, the Church of Satan (for example) does not believe in an entity called Satan.
I hung out with some weird people in high school.
