What is Satanism?

I am an atheist. I don't believe in Satan or 'gods' or Santa Claus. To me, Satan is a symbol. It's a symbol of using freewill to free oneself from tyranny of authoritarian thinking. Satan is a symbol of choosing to be free at great potential risk rather than choosing the relatively safer route of servility and consensus thinking, "herd mentality". I'm against all paternalistic church and state because they demand that their adherents remain in a perpetual immature state of dependency. Coerced immaturity can only be countered by insisting that one be treated as an adult, and having ones rights and responsibilities recognized as ones personal property and personal domain, the domain of someone who practices self-sovereignty. "Rights" are not granted, they're merely recognized in applicable context. If a right could be arbitrarily granted, it could just as easily be repealed, which defies the meaning of a right. Rights necessarily follow from the fact that I own my own life, and all corollary rights necessarily logically follow from this fact.
