Ugh. Yeah, that too.
I know a few people who call themselves Satanists and a few who are Luciferians. To my knowledge, Satanism is more… I don’t want to say material, but it’s less concerned with things beyond this life. To my knowledge, Luciferians are concerned with spirituality.
But honestly, if you want someone on your side when it comes to kicking back the Evangelical Christian stuff that continues to invade supposed secular spaces in America, it’s the Church of Satan. At least imo. They’ve done a good job of shutting down Christian propoganda in schools and government just by pointing out that if “any religious organization” can erect monuments or hand out material to school children, they can and will. Of course, people would rather not have their kids color in pictures of smiling children and Baphomet, so they bsn it all. As it should be. But they’re not “evil” or “monsters”. Most of them are really staunch defenders of human rights and religious freedom, which is awesome. If more people knew what Satanists were about….well they might not care because America is shitty to people who don’t believe in the “right” thing.

It’s not just media that sucks to atheists, either. I’m pretty sure there are still laws on the books that bar atheists from running for public office. They’re not enforceable but they’re there.
