I was a Satanist of a sort... mostly I was just a kid calling myself one because I thought it sounded cool and rebellious. I grew out of it around early high school.

I think most of the magic stuff is bunk, but a lot of their viewpoints are quite useful, though I really don't follow any set belief system.

I'm some mix of satanist and Christian along with a few others but no real set religion, just a lot of different philosophies.

You are neither of those things, your an athiest with many different ideas.

Ex-LaVeyist here.. Though he is a hypocritical fool, I should also thank him for setting me in the right direction.
At least as far as idealism goes.

I think something started the universe but besides that yeah I'm basically an atheist for all practical reasons, with a mix of various philosophies.

I won't swear to it but I'm told Laveyan satanism is based off of Nietzsche.

Another ex-LaVeyist here. I quit satanism long ago because firstly I didn't think it was scientifically sound enough, and secondly because I'm too nonconformist even to bow to the dogmas of satanism. I'm not a satanist. I'm me.
