Satan is of religious construct...in this most will agree. The word brings with it, certain connotations, that bolster an evil perception. Aligning with a group that uses this moniker would be tantamount to shooting ourselves in the foot. Also, any group that uses this moniker to represent their cause, has some issues.

I do believe that could have some very good outcomes. As far as I'm concerned everything in the bible has led me to the conclusion that it is the devil who is in fact the more righteous of the two. The devil punishes the wicked and weak.

2015? really?

There is no"should" for an atheist other than a disbelief in god(s) . Perhaps consider working your beliefs and political supports out for yourself .

I can't speak for others, nor others for me. I really don't care if two sets of superstitions are at war with each other . I have no spiritual beliefs.

Satanism as it exists today seems to be largely the invention of Christianity. It's just another form of spiritual belief to me and therefore irrelevant. Unless of course they get in my face .

Before you mentioned them, I honestly could not remember the last time satanists entered my mind.

Zombie posts are harmless. They remain interesting to peruse over the older discussions and useful for the current unobservant poster to express their interest or outrage despite the OP having shot through ages ago.
And I find it kind of amusing and like to wager on how long it takes for the new poster to realise they have resurrected a dead post. Cog use to do it all the time and rage against the long gone poster and that would crack me up.

AS for Satanism, no, Not interested. As much as I appreciate some of the tenets of LeVeyan Satanism I don't care for the fancy dress up and pseudo ritual stuff, even if its not compulsory, its sort of like the Goth fad of years ago - mostly pouting and macho fantasy pretend.

The Satanic Temple has dismissed the LaVeyan Church of Satan as "irrelevant and inactive" and has my greater respect. The Temple is totally secular (except perhaps for the name which I understand is used because it gets under the skin of theists and reflects the Temples position as an opponent to religion) and organised and political, they get shit done, like the statue of Baphomet in response to the 10 Commandments statue in Arkansas and their continuing educational protests.
I'd probably join the Temple if I lived in the US, but here in Australia there's no chapter and its expected if you don't believe in gods you don't have to join a club to prove or promote it. Joining clubs in Oz is strictly reserved for religion and sports and the Returned Services League which is like a church for Anzac Day.

I can never figure out why christians think Yaweh is the good guy, & satan the bad guy. If you look at all the evil shit yaweh does in the old testament, he is much more evil than satan.

The only evil satan does is in the book of job, but that is at the behest of yaweh, so yaweh is as much, if not more to blame than satan in that story.

It is yaweh that curses all mankind, yaweh that kills everything by flooding the whole earth, yaweh who advocates slavery, yaweh who orders genocide & rape, yaweh who kills the firstborn of egypt, yahweh who introduces laws advocating the stoning to death of people who work on the sabbath etc, yaweh who demands to be worshipped, yaweh who condemns people to eternal punishment & torture for not worshipping him, yaweh who prohibits 'graven' images (which is basically prohibiting art such as any painting or sculpture).

yaweh is the personification of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot & Kim Jong-un, all rolled into one, except at least you could die to escape their lunacy & cruelty. With yaweh, you cant escape his sadistic ways even when dead. Satan is very benign in comparison.
