99% Satanists are just atheists. Both major satanic religions (lookup satanic temple) don't actually believe in Satan and mostly preach separation of church and state. Albeit generally far left.

When he makes the distinction he is implying the stereotypical drinker of cat blood.
I think these are few and far between people most never meet. given too much attention.
The belief in God among Satanists is a complex and often misunderstood topic. There are different types of Satanism, and their views on God vary:
1. LaVeyan Satanism (The Church of Satan):
- Do not believe in God or Satan as literal beings
- Atheistic in nature
- Use Satan as a symbol of rebellion against traditional religious dogma
2. The Satanic Temple:
- Also atheistic
- Do not believe in a literal Satan or any supernatural entities
- Use Satan as a literary figure symbolizing skepticism and rational inquiry
3. Theistic Satanism:
- A minority of Satanists who do believe in a literal Satan
- May view Satan as a deity to be worshipped
- Often reject the Christian God or view him as a malevolent entity
4. Luciferianism:
- Some Luciferians believe in a literal Lucifer, while others see him as symbolic
- May or may not believe in the Christian God, but generally reject his authority
It's important to note that most modern Satanists do not believe in or worship a literal Satan, and their beliefs about God (or gods) can vary widely. The majority of Satanists are actually atheists who use Satanic imagery and philosophy as a means of self-empowerment and rejection of traditional religious norms.
I would end up killing the Satanist. If he does not kill me first.
