A belief in two equal and opposite deities, such as God and Satan. Heaven belongs 100% to God, Hell belongs 100% to Satan. The Earth is their battleground. Nature is Neutral. God and Satan work through human beings. In Christian Polar Theism, God became the man Jesus Christ to let Satan torture and physically kill Him in exchange for the souls of sinners who repent (desire to be sinless).
FORMER ATHEIST: Polar Theism explains away all my objections to Theism. Polar Theistic Christianity explains everything; I just got saved!

A person who believes in the existence of God but could not prove the existence of God or even be proved of the existence of God. May not even claim to know the properties of the God such as what it does or it's appearance or what this creator is composed of or originated from. Doesn't know about God but believes in a God just by choosing to but usually rejects known religion as proof of God.
As the Satanic ideals and religion grew more popular throughout the decades of the 20th century, most Satanists were only symbolic Satanists. This means they used Satan as a symbol for desires that other religions denied, individuality, strength, independance, etc, but did not actually worship or believe in Satan. To be a Theistic, or traditional Satanist, means to be one that truly believes in Satan and worships him as the deity that he is.
*Philosophical/Symbolic Satanism- " We don't actually believe in Satan, but we live very similarly to the principles of which a true Satanist operates on, minus worshipping"
*Theistic Satanism*- I believe in and worship Satan as a god
