What if I said let's worship the devil what would you say and why? And if you believe there is a Devil why wouldn't you believe there is a God?

Anyone who fights against or denies the existence of God has already pretty much acknowledged He exists. It's just popular these days to follow the Judas Goat.

Well you make a couple mistakes here. First you seem to ignore the fact that Atheists dont just not believe in God they dont believe in ANY supernatural being, Satan included. Second you seem to be equating Atheism to Satanism which is illogical because of the above reason. And Third you seem to be under the misconception that Satanists worship Satan as if he were a deity which most dont. The little bit of research I have done into Satanism seems like they veiw the "Satan" thing as an archetype for free will and personal responsibility for ones actions. Now I am neither a Satanist or an Athiest but I would say that if you ask stupid questions like this your going to get beat up a little by the answers. Also contemplate and think for a second about what stereotype you are setting for Christians? do you really want all Christians to be looked at as idiots who ask illogical questions such as this? Probably not.

If you said "let's worship the devil" I'd say, "sorry person I don't know, I don't worship anything, and I certainly won't worship what some stranger tells me to worship."
Now, as for your second question, NO OF COURSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL. I'm not 5.

I don't believe in myths, the devil included. Think about it for a second, atheists don't believe in any gods, why in the world would they believe in the devil?
Edit:
Think about this, there are and have been many gods through the course of history. You only believe in one being real, so that makes you similar to an atheist, we just believe in one less than you.

Atheists don't believe in any of the Judeo-Christian ideas, including God, Satan, angels, demons, or any of that.
Nor, for that matter, do we believe in Thor, Brahma, Zemu, Ahura Mazda, Odin, Danu, Nuada of the Silver Hand, Mithras, Vishnu, Raven, Amaterasu, Shiva, Susa-o-no-o-Mikoto, or any of that stuff.
If you want to worship the devil, well I'd think you more foolish than if you decided to worship Yaweh. At least the latter promises eternal salvation and (theoretically) requests his worshippers to be compassionate. Still - neither is true.

Do you want a serious answer? Because I might say yes just because it amuses me.
Seriously though, since Atheists don't believe in God, it stands to reason they wouldn't be interested in worshiping the devil either, right? This is a pretty easy one to answer all by yourself, if you bother to think about it at all.

I don't believe in the devil either so why would I do that? For a devil to exist, there must be a god. Think with your brain not your bible.

Most of us who don't believe in God normally don't believe in the Devil either, so where are you getting this argument from?

I don't believe there's a devil, either. If there were one, I wouldn't worship him.

This is why a moderator wouldn't be such a bad thing here. This is simply antagonistic. Atheists call the whole idea of G-d and Devil two sides of the imaginary coin. It's an easy trick on the mind to say: "can't touch it/must be fake". Asking incendiary questions will get nothing but incendiary responses, I'm afraid. LLG.

I don't believe there is a devil. You have been misinformed that atheists worship the devil or satan or evil, and that's just not true in the slightest.
We don't worship anything.
