Satanism and Mortality: A Focus on the Here and Now
Consequently, their view of mortality is starkly different from many traditional religions. There’s no concept of heaven, hell, or reincarnation. Death is seen as the ultimate end of consciousness.
Instead of focusing on an afterlife, Satanists emphasize:
- Individualism: Prioritizing personal fulfillment and autonomy in this life.
- Empiricism: Relying on evidence and reason rather than supernatural beliefs.
- Humanism: Valuing human potential and compassion.
It’s essential to note that this is a perspective specific to The Satanic Temple. Other groups or individuals who identify as Satanists might hold different beliefs.
