I know little on the subject, but I was curious one day and looked through the satanic bible... It was pretty much athiesm. You can do anything you want as long as you bring no harm to yourself or anyone else. Pleasure of the senses is ok, but intellectual stimulation is encouraged. Making the most of your life is the goal. In fact the satanic bible claims there is no God or Satan. It seems to me satanism is simply christianity putting a bad name on athiests. Technically speaking us athiests are satanics, anti-christs, etc... Doesn't sound to good does it? They're tricky those christians, lol.
Interesting thought, never thought of that one. But no, I doubt christians, with all their dignity, would stoop to that. And since when did atheism encourage pleasure of the senses? The satanic bible claims satan to be a force of nature. A theistic copout to me.
Atheism just allows for more freedom. That's basically it.
