If Satanists believe in and worship the devil (Satan), then do they believe that there is such thing as God and heaven?
Same for Christians. Do they believe there is such thing as Satan and hell?
Just curious.

So, Laveyan satanists are like Athiests? How are they different from Athiests?

There are two kind of satanists, from what I've read. Theistic satanists, who worship satan and believe that God is the bad guy, satan the much maligned good guy. And Laveyan satanists, who are typically atheists.
I would say that almost all Christians believe in a literal satan and hell. If they don't, they are tossing out a good part of the Bible.
Edit to add: LaVeyan satanists are atheists with a twist. They follow the satanic bible which basically exhorts them to do whatever they desire. I don't know how else to describe it --- other than to say that it encourages utter selfishness and hedonism. Many atheists value selflessness and humility, of course. That would not be true of LaVeyan satanists.

Depends on the type of Satanist. La Vey Satanists for example do not believe in a literal devil, only as a symbol. Most claim to be athiests, although may do rituals and magick. I'd love to go into more detail but they are also a pretty private bunch. I am going to respect that.

Of course we believe there's a Satan and a hell! We wouldn't be in such a hurry to spread the gospel if we didn't!
I don't see how it matters if satanists believe or not...especially since they'll go to hell anyway...

I know christians are taught to believe that there is a Satan and hell because it says in the book of revelations in the bible that one day god will defeat satan at the end of the world

God & Satan are two sides of the same coin. To believe in one means you believe in the other (unless you can visualize a one sided coin).

When I was into satanism I believed in God and Jesus. I saw Jesus during rituals. As a Christian now, I know there is a satan and hell, because I use to see him also during rituals.
