I am a 24 year old who has identified herself as an Atheist since age 10 or so. My parents are "Christians" (do not go to church but believe in a higher power), never baptized me, and did not force me to go to church. I had been to bible school with family friends, but none of it made sense to me, even at an early age. I did not, and still don't, see how there is a higher power which created everything, this almighty god that I should be praying to and worrying about every day.
Lately I have been lightly reading up on Satanism, and I am not quite sure but I feel as though I fall more into that category. I may not understand Satanism fully, but it seems based on what I have taken in, that Satanism is basically Atheism but where everything that the person does is because it benefits themselves, through actions lust and thought etc. I am just wondering what the true differences are between the two.
Christians need not reply. Thank you.
