There are two primary camps in Satanism, theistic and non-theistic. The large majority of Satanists are non-theistic, as in we do not believe in gods, devils, afterlives, and magic.

So non-theistic Satanists are basically atheists?

I am not quite Familiar with Right/left decomcratic/liberal and conservative politics, I am not American or know how western politics work and their terminologies

And also why the name "Satanist" if the community is about pacifism and humanitarian? I have no doubt they and you are good ppl but I'm intreasted on who was and why the founder of this 100 year old religion chose to name it after the universal embodiment of evil, in every culture
