Why do Atheists rarely talk about the occult & satanism?
I consider myself agnostic, leaning towards atheism.

I don't believe Atheists are evil or satanic because they absolutely don't believe in the spirit world or of God/gods of any kind.

I do find it strange that famous Atheists rarely, if ever, talk about satanism or the occult.

Why do you think that is? Too niche? Not worth wasting time on?

Stephen Fry, Hitchens.. I can't find anything where they talk about the occult or satanism.

i would guess satanism is a non issue (according to the media) and thats why nobody is talking about it.

And other religions like islam and christianity are almost daily in the news.

Atheists are those who are not duped by organized religions... christianity, occultism, satanism, islam, etc.

Oh sure they do...usually to point out there is not separation in origins of satanism, judaism and christianity.

You can pretend as you like, they are all reptilian cults which include cannibalism, sorcery etc.

Re: Why do Atheists rarely talk about the occult & satanism?
I am an atheist (I prefer the idea of being a naturalist). Why should I want to talk about more supernatural and superstitious made up things, such as occult and Satanism? Those things are just made up.

science doesn't allow them to consider anything that they can't study, but this is not because they are atheists, it is because they are scientists.


You know that there are other options, atheism, agnosticism, or organized religion are not your only choices... from my perspective those choices aren't as different from one another as most people think.

Some study and practice it in secret while putting up a facade that it is evil/hogwash.

They don't like an even playing field.

Most Atheists are better described as "anti-Christians". They don't mind religion unless it's Christianity.

Because it isn't mainstream. There aren't very many Satanists or occultists. Satanism has very little effect on the world compared to Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

There are billions of Christians so that's what they criticize.

Simple Answer: Atheists hate Christianity more than any other religion or cult.

Atheist, Agnostic, part of an organized religion.

I am not in any of these categories, and from my perspective they all have a lot in common.
