A satanist who is also an atheist?

What is wrong with this picture? How is that possible?

Update:

To believe that Satan exists, one would have to automatically believe that God exists. If there is no God, there is obviously no Satan. Like an oxymoron. It contradicts!

Update 2:

Even Levayans understand the Kabbalah, jewish mysticism. Again, proof of contradictions. I'm I wrong?

    As opposed to to theistic satanism, LaVeyan satanists don't actually believe in the devil. If I recall correctly, it's more of a metaphorical thing.

    Yes, you're just clinging to straws and making **** up now.

    Levayan Satanist.

    The satan they refer to is metaphorical. IE: a god unto themselves.

    Not a supernatural being/deity

    Anton Levay's Church of Satan is an ahtiestic belief system. They do not believe in the christian satan. They do use the character as a symbol, but they do not believe in him as a being nor do they believe in a god.

    Not possible. How can a satanist not believe what they are fighting. An atheist is a deliberatly ignorant fool who says there is no God. Satanist believe there is a God and they tremble at the thought of it! Guess that's clear now.

    First off morons, Satanists don't believe in any supernatural entity.

    Get your facts straight before you type.

    Satan is used symbolically. and yes, Satanists are technically atheists.

    It's common. In Levayan satanism, satan is revered as a symbol but they don't think he actually exists.

    Atheists Believe In No Higher Power. "Satanists" Generally Devote Their Belief System To "Satan" As A Replacement God.

    So No, You Cannot Be Both. If You Are, You're Doing Something Wrong.

    Because the religion of satanism started by Anton LaVey in it's current format is atheistic.

    It's not possible, since an atheist, by definition, doesn't believe in the supernatural, and last I checked Satan wasn't real.
