13. It's a profound, ironic truth that the Satanists do not believe in the devil.

Love to the Satanists!

From Google ...

Satanists are generally practitioners of modern, non-theistic religions that use Satan as a symbol of individualism, rebellion against arbitrary authority, and rational inquiry, rather than a literal deity
. Major organizations like The Satanic Temple (often politically active, promoting secularism) and the Church of Satan (emphasizing individualism) promote self-empowerment, compassion, and bodily autonomy.

Most modern Satanists are atheistic (rationalist), viewing Satan as a metaphor for enlightenment and defiance. A smaller, distinct group consists of theistic Satanists (or devil worshippers) who believe in and worship a literal Satan.
