I am in between Secular Humanist and Satanist, but I don't like the term "Atheist," because it's too general. What should I call myself? (Serious answers only, please.)

First off, to clear up a couple things from some of the other responses: most actual Satanists DO NOT believe in a real Satan. And in Satanic philosophy, it seems it could probably be conjoined with ideas from secular humanism without much problem.
"1. Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence!
2. Satan represents vital existence instead of spiritual pipe dreams!
3. Satan represents undefiled wisdom instead of hypocritical self-deceit!
4. Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates!
5. Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek!
6. Satan represents responsibility to the responsible instead of concern for psychic vampires!
7. Satan represents man as just another animal, sometimes better, more often worse than those that walk on all-fours, who, because of his “divine spiritual and intellectual development,” has become the most vicious animal of all!
8. Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!
9. Satan has been the best friend the Church has ever had, as He has kept it in business all these years!"
Anyway, why call yourself anything? Titles aren't always beneficial, and can often cause confustion and negetivity, at least in discussing this subject. Be what you are and believe what you believe, and don't worry about the name game. If in time you still feel its needed, come up with your own title.

Well if you don't believe in an actual Satan then you are a LaVeyan Satanist. Anyway LaVeyan Satanists are a mixture of Atheists, Agnostics, Freethinkers, and Humanists so it's all good really.

Doesn't Satanism and Secular Humanism contradict one another? I ask, not really knowing what Satanists truly believe, but assume they believe in Satan?
That being said, how about:
Human Satanist
Satanic Secularist
A Not quite Atheist

I dunno i like the Term Atheist...... then i can also say "I am not religious but i was raised catholic." I can also tell people i am trans-humanist and they wont know what i am talking about.

I think you should call yourself a Christian counselor and ask them more about God, the one who created you, loves you and knew you before you were born.

A lost soul who still has a chance to turn to Christ for salvation
if you realize your sin and repent of it.
Titles mean little. What is in your heart means everything.
