A guide to atheist satanism

First off, drop those goofy ass prejudices about satanism. Blood cults? thats not what we do here. Murder? nope, quite the opposite. Illuminati stuff? nada.

heres the basics. Theres two different types of satanism- theistic satanism and atheistic satanism. Im an atheistic satanist, so i dont worship a god, or satan. Confusing, i know, but stay with me. "sO WhY iS iT CaLLeD SaTaNiSm iF yoU DoNt WoRsHiP sAtAn?" well, heres the reason. the guy that started the religion basically called it that to piss off christians. Plus, its the complete opposite of christianity.

so what do we believe? There are many things. here are the basic beliefs:

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

in simple terms: Be kind, unless you have a reason not to. Justice is important and should be something we fight for. My body is mine and mine alone. everyone gets a say, no matter who. Use common sense, fact check- dont blindly follow. You make mistakes, you are human. every rule just listed is designed to guide you to be compassionate, smart, and just.

things we support: Lgbtq+, minorities, consent, women, ourselves, S/A victims (all of them.), good human beings
