Their notion of God is not the same as in Judaism or Christianity. To them God is more of an abstraction.
In Satanism you became your own godhead in accordance to your own potential.
Besides a god serves as a better central focus anyway.

Were you not listening? Perhaps I should explain it clearer.
To "them," The Buddha and Kong Fuzi never claimed to be deities, unlike your Jesus.

In Satanism? You'll have to be more specific, as there are branches of Satanism, just like any other religion. Theistic Satanism, or just Satanism, is literal devil-worship. That's obviously not the one you're talking about. You're probably talking about LaVeyan Satanism, as it's the worship of oneself. But there are no literal gods in LaVeyan Satanism; it's basically atheism with rituals, made by LaVey as a mockery of religion.

I choose kindness as a "central focus" rather than gods; especially gods who make no signs of their existence, let injustices happen, and expect me to believe in them under the threat of torture.
