Does Satan encourage atheism?

So, after reading some last night a question occurred to me. Does Satan encourage atheism - the doctrine or belief that there is no God?

I understand that Satan would not want you to believe in God, but if you do not believe in God, then likewise wouldn't you also have to put aside any belief in Satan? Some people may argue that Satan would leverage atheism to keep you from following God, but what if that's not really even Satan's motivation? Does he just want to keep us from God, or does he want to be like God and have us follow after him instead? In that case, wouldn't atheism work against him? If the devil just gets his kick out of seeing you not believe, then atheism could certainly help him accomplish what he wants, but then what is in it for Satan?

So, your thoughts...

Tests of Faith

Some of you grew up in churches where you always went to church when the doors were open right? If you didn't - well, that was being a bad Christian and you may as well plan on spending eternity in hell. Any of you know what I am talking about? It was the same thing with drinking, dancing, smoking, gambling, etc... There were these "tests of faith" people conjured up and and applied based on their own belief system and traditions. It's no different than when the Pharisees looked at Jesus as a bad Jew because he did not observe the Sabbath like they felt he should.

So here's my question...if I failed these "tests" then what would happen if I applied the same thinking to the church of Satan? What if I failed to be a good church attender as a member of Satan's church? Would I not be allowed into Hell?

Ok - obviously I don't believe that being a bad Satanic church member would keep me out of hell but maybe you see my point.

Let God do the judging.
