I can't help but be tempted to join the Church of Satan sometimes

There's different "flavors" of Satanism, check out The Satanic Temple as well. They do more things relevant to secularism and work with the FFRF among others.

Well then Satan is my kinda guy. God should have been doing that from the start. Oh yeah. Jesus was doing that, but I am not sure if he was god.

Aren't these Christians crying because their 'rights' are being destroyed by atheists?

I'm thinking of the recent cake shop owner's rights to be homophobic bigot.

Satan is a religious concept. There is no Satan for non-religious people.

You're right. But I like the concept, the re-imagining, essentially changing the story that I don't like so it's acceptable to me. I don't think Frodo is real either but I can still like LOTR.

In it's original form (ie an everyday word in a language) Satan just means the opposer. There wasn't a "devil" of any sorts, sky daddy even sent his own angels as a Satan in various passages. Also Satanism bases Satan/Lúcifer from the character created by Romantic era poets such as Shelley, Blake, Byron and France. It is just a literary figure that identifies a philosophy of fighting tyranny and promoting freedom of will and thought.
