A branch of Satanism that is a philosophy, rather than a religion; based upon living by a code of honor and embracing the glorification of the human ego. In this way, it shares similarities with LaVeyan Satanism, but AutoDeistic Satanists shun all things magical and spiritual, and instead believe in science and evolution.
Satan is regarded as an important symbol for hope and unity, and any and all ritualistic practices are looked down upon.

I was reading up on AutoDeistic Satanism today. It's kind of similar to the Church of Satan, but it's about science, not the occult.
