As far as dark humor, another reason why the meme may have developed is that many people mistakenly associate [[atheism]] with [[Satanism]] and allegations that satanists have been involved in the ritualistic infant sacrifices.<ref name="Goleman1994">{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/31/us/proof-lacking-for-ritual-abuse-by-satanists.html?sq=satanic+ritual+abuse&scp=1&st=nyt|title=Proof Lacking for Ritual Abuse by Satanists|last=Goleman|first=Daniel|year=1994|publisher=[[The New York Times]]|language=English|accessdate=21 May 2018}}</ref> Although [[LaVeyan Satanism]] is a form of [[atheism]], it does not hold that [[Satan]] is real being. Specifically, LaVeyan Satanism is a form of atheism which extolls the values of Satan which are described in the [[Bible]]. It is a very [[pride]]ful and [[hedonism|hedonistic]] worldview. Some specific characteristics of Leveyan Satanism is that it incorporates egoism, self-deification, the [[occult]]/magic, [[Social Darwinism]] and [[Naturalism (philosophy)|naturalism]]. It was found by Anton LeVey in 1966.
