It is an umbrella term for non-theistic religions that consider Satan to be an archetype, metaphor, or symbol (often representing a resistance to religious dominance) rather than a deity, supernatural entity, or spiritual being. It was established in 1966 with the founding of LaVeyan Satanism. Atheistic Satanism often places emphasis on individuation, personal growth and human potential. Typical beliefs of atheistic Satanism include self-responsibility, rational thinking, and rejection of religious guilt. It is the most common form of Satanism. It is a left-hand path religion.
