    Atheists don’t support religions.

    Atheists actively do not believe in God or gods. The Satanic Temple is non-theistic. There are plenty of atheists out there that support non-theist religions.

    Your displeasure that atheism being related to “Satan” is you taking a theistic viewpoint by seeing it as the Abrahamic religions do.

    The word “Satan” was not originally a proper name, but rather an ordinary noun that means “adversary”. In this context, it appears at several points in the Old Testament.

    If you actually read and knew the tenet of TST then you’d know that they are the adversary of Christian extremism.
