Silicon Valley’s Safe Space

Violent revolution and utopianism were core beliefs of both Nazism and Bolshevism. Individual rights are a core belief of both social democratic liberalism and anarcho-capitalism. The existence of Satan is a core belief of both Christians and Satanists.

A and B sharing core beliefs does not mean A == B.

You point stands but most Satanism actually doesn't actually believe in a literal Satan, they identify with him as an allegory.

The largest sects, The Church of Satan (athiest) and the Satanic Temple (non-theist) don't have a belief in Satan as a deity.

There is a subset that actually does though but they are a minority of a minority.

Thanks for the correction. I didn't realize that!
