Satanism is a vastly differentiated group of ideological and philosophical beliefs that revolve around the veneration of Satan (a biblical invention) or similarly rebellious figures, that arrived in the late twentieth century but may be based on earlier manifestations in part. Some may be atheistic who base their philosophy on a symbol (rather than a figure) that represents the self-indulgent nature of humanity.
Atheism is simply the absence of a belief in gods and the supernatural.

∙ 13y agoSatanism is a religion where no gods or devils are recognized as anything more than figments of our imaginations, whereas Wicca is a completely separate religion. Neither believe "the Devil" even exists. The Wiccan "Horned God" is sometimes mistaken for Satan, which may be why Wiccans and Satanists are lumped together in the public mind. In actuality, they are completely different. Wiccans are more nature-oriented and believe they cannot do harmful magic or selfish magic. However satanists do both selfish, destructive, and selfless, constructive magic.
Satanists use an inverted Pentacle as their symbol or the sigil of baphomet and the Official Wiccan religious symbol is the Pentacle.

Are wiccans the same as witches?
The Wiccan use of the term "witch" to describe a practitioner of the Wicca belief created a false association of Wicca with Satanism, based on the fact that Christians used the word "witch" to refer to one who has made a pact with Satan in exchange for supernatural powers. In actuality, Wicca is similar to druidism. The Wicca faith is based heavily around nature. To answer your question, if you were asking whether Wiccans were Satanists, the answer is no. If you were asking whether "Wiccans" and "Witches" referred to the same thing, the answer is yes. Also, if you're further interested in Wicca,Wikipedia is a fine source of information (as always).
