I was brought up catholic (kind of), more out of tradition rather than any real conviction on my parents' part. When I left God and became an Atheist, my Christian friend (a massive hypocrite, like all Christians and Muslims) warned me that Atheism is the first step on the road to Satanism and was afraid I would never get to heaven and get face to face with God (what a loss, eh? I'd rather be reborn as a cockroach than bow to that tyrant). Now I know he was right...
Later on, I realized that materialism and atheism are dead ends and the spiritual side of life is very real. However, without the help Atheism provided, I would have probably never woken up to the lies of Christianity. I wonder if this works similarly for other people, in that they become Atheists first, before they turn to Satanism, and Atheism acts as a crutch to help them through the first few difficult years of transition to true Spirituality. To rephrase the question, do countries and people that have now become overwhelmingly godless (mostly European and Antipodean countries like Australia) going through a transitional phase that will ready the populace to embrace true Satanism (a bit like in Laveyan Satanism)? And was that Satan's plan all along?
Thanks for your thoughts.
