Atheistic Satanism is a loose term describing the ideologies of those who call themselves satanists while not believing in a literal Satan; they instead embrace the fictional Satan as a symbol of defiance against Abrahamic religions. This is primarily the ideologies of Anton LaVey's Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple.

Beliefs

The Satanic Temple

The mission of the Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits according to their tenents. The Satanic Temple has publicly confronted hate groups, fought for the abolition of corporal punishment in public schools, applied for equal representation when religious installations are placed on public property, provided religious exemption and legal protection against laws that restrict women's right to abortion, exposed harmful pseudo-scientific practitioners in mental health care, organized clubs alongside other religious after-school clubs in schools, and engaged in other advocacy in accordance with their tenets.

The Satanic Temple has seven fundamental tenets:

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

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

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

IV. 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.

V. 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.

VI. 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.

VII. 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.

Personality

Atheistic Satanism is an atheist who (typically) was raised Christian. They are modestly familiar with Abrahamic theology and view Satan as the sympathetic character, not God. The vast majority of the time they act either like an edgelord or a petulant child, especially around Christian ideologies.
