Atheists don't believe in Satan. Antitheists "believe " in Satan, not in the literal "Satan is a fallen angel" schtick, but in that if the Christian philosophy is that Satan = Adversary to God, then we are the "Satan" to the Christian God.
Christians equate the non-belief of God to be as bad or worse than evil itself. Christianity would be so much more palatable if it were not so intolerant of other beliefs or even the non-belief in God.
The key to "heaven", if there even is such a thing, is not going to be based on whether or not you believe, but whether or not you were a good person.
Don't go to church every Sunday and think that all of your sins are absolved because "God loves and forgives you".
Heaven's true admission will be based on character, not belief. But then again, I don't believe in heaven, so I have nothing to lose.

Only in an absolutely metaphorical way. "Satan" is the personification of the urge to avoid responsibility for one's selfish, harmful actions toward one's fellow humans. The idea serves as an excuse to suppress personal guilt, nothing more.

(Sighs)
If I don't believe in the story of how the world came to be as told in the Bible, what the hell is going to make me believe in Satan? If there's no god then, by default, you don't have Satan.

You know.... I could just let everything they said stand up.... and I will. It stands on its own.
Satan is christian. Athiests are not christian. ere go Athiests do not belive in Satan.
You belive in Satan apparently. Most christians belive in him in some form or another.
Belive in him only breaks down to "Belief in existince" It is commonly misused to mean something else. If I said I believe in Jesus. Its slang form would equate " I believe Jesus is my Savior and his word is law"
I believe in Jesus. In the real sense of the term.
And no Asatruars do not belive in the devil

No.
Look up the definition of atheist. An atheist does not believe in any higher power.

No. Why would someone believe in Satan if they didn't believe in the existence of God?

Isn't Satan kind of a cast-out god? A-theist. We don't believe in gods. Any.
