They believe in themselves, which is always a good thing. Do you mean Satanist?
Satanism is a term that may refer to a religious, semi-religious, and/or philosophical movement. The term is normally applied by non-Satanists to those individuals who worship the entity called "Satan," and advocate the triumph of evil forces over good in the universe; however, members of the Church of Satan, the most organized Satanic group, reject this common association, as they do not actually believe in a being called "Satan," and use his name only as a symbolic allusion to certain materialistic and individualistic values.

Satan believers are called Christians. After all, they do believe that Satan exists. Of course, you probably meant Satan worshippers, which is a bit different. They're called Satanists. However, there are some satanists who follow a particular philosophy known as satanism, but this does not include a belief in an actual entity known as satan. It's more of a metaphorical notion of satan.

There is no name for satan believers -- most Christians believe in Satan. However Satan Followers are called "Satanists."
I am an agnostic. There are lots of things that I believe in. You will find that most atheists and agnostics have a more thought out system of moral beliefs than religious people. We have to -- because we are not blindly following some faith.
Many religious people do have a well thought out belief systems -- but the majority believe what they believe because they were told to.
I was raised Catholic and went through 16 years of Catholic Schools. But I also studied philosophy and mathematics. My system of morality is based on a belief that there is good in the world and good in man. I believe many of the tenets that caused the enlightenment -- that all men are created equal, that there are basic freedoms that are important. I believe that we need to strike a balance between the rights of the many and the rights of the individual.
I developed this moral system while I still believed in God. There came a point when I realized that the desire and duty to be good was independent of my belief in God. That belief became irrelevant.
If there is a God who decides if we go to heaven, then he either chooses to let us in based on good works or based on belief in him or based on some other criteria. If it is based on acts or some other criteria -- then my belief in him is irrelevent. If he is only choosing those of us who are believers, then I don't want to be with him, don't want to worship him, and don't want to honor him -- because only an evil God would use the same criteria for sending people to Hell that Hitler used to send people to Auchwitz.

First we should clarify the meanings of the two words you suggest:
*Atheist: "Atheism is the state either of being without theistic beliefs, or of actively disbelieving in the existence of deities."
*Agnostic: "An Agnostic [1] [noun] [OW] embraces a worldview in which the existence of deity is unknown or unknowable. Derives from the Greek agnostos, a = without, gnostos = known or knowledge."
To say that both of these DO NOT believe in God makes it clear that the asker of the question is uninformed of the very nature of the substance of which you ask.
I hope this helps to give you some clarity.
Satan Believer is an unrelated concept and should not be confused with either of these two.

Atheists believe in nearly everything that Christians and people from other religions believe in, except gods.
Christians are Satan believers. They do believe Satan exists. People that worship Satan are called Satanists.

I believe in the human race.
Just for the record, Satanists do not actually worship or even believe in Satan and the word Sadists comes from the French "Sade" not Satan

I'll mostly agree with "nondescript." We just haven't found any use for supernatural beliefs.
People that believe in Satan are called religious people. For example, Christians believe in Satan. Atheists do not believe in Satan.

Believers in Satan are called Satanists and I do believe in God, just not the Bible's version of God.

I believe that anybody who is not agnostic or atheist is lying to themselves. People who believe in satan are called Christians. Whereas people who worship satan are called Satanists.

Look up Secular Humanist. Many people who don't rely on a God to fix their problems look within themselves. We are the masters of our own destiny, not some supernatural force nobody can see or hear. People are amazing and we can accomplish amazing things when we put our hearts & minds to it.
Not sure what Satan believers are called since Satan is a montheistic (mainly Christian) invention. Maybe Anti-christian?
