I must say, whenever I come across this issue, I merely smile and state "to each there own" and then go on with my life.

The only way I feel superior to Christians is because they don't understand their own selves; they believe they're some higher being created by some magical God in the sky, when in reality they're animals just like everyone else.

People of every walk have a superiority complex; and it is usually those who have the superiority complex that are the most outspoken about all their Christianity; and this tends to happen most with the conservative ones. On the other hand the Christians who are more open minded about other religions are not outspoken and so people judge on Christians based on the conservative outspoken ones.

me more open minded me pretty outspoken but sometimes i get bitched at by other Christians for thinking differently

*"Satanist" here means LaVeyan Satanist, of course; no theistic satan religions are covered here.

Not as a Satanist per se, but as an atheist, I would be under the assumption Satanists generally don't have a superiority complex, at least not one relative to Chistians'. First of all, isn't there a very clear rule for Satanists that pretentiousness isn't tolerated? If so, then the very doctrines of Satanism would condemn this sort of behavior from the get go. Of course, not everyone follows scripture verbatim, especially in a religion founded on the very idea of rebellion. Speaking of which, as a Satanist, wouldn't one of the implied goals be to avoid Christian-like behavior as much as possible, within reason? Even without the aforementioned rule in place, Satanists should be naturally inclined to avoid the same kind of superiority complex as they perceive some Christians to have. After all, wouldn't a person be more inclined to become a Satanist or at least anti-christian after witnessing such behavior?

Also, consider the following: most satanists don't hold high levels of power or prestige, are generally not considered a part of the upper class and usually are not particularly affluent. Because Satanists don't hold much power relative to other religious groups (or even individual people), they have little wriggle room to argue their superiority. They are under the control of someone with more power and prestige than they are in their workplace; telling that person off, in an extreme circumstance, would jeopardize their well being. Even from a pragmatic perspective, let's say a Satanist of a lower income bracket claims superiority over a Christian or a person of another religion in a higher income bracket. Again, not a lot of wriggle room because the Satanist has less "proof" of their success and without practical evidence of success in regards to the ideology, the ideology itself loses credibility in the eye of the beholder. This is the same reason why philosophers and socialists aren't as highly regarded or popular as Christians and Capitalists: the former may have sound reasoning against the status quo, but may struggle or put less consideration into how they're going to keep a roof above their head or how they can retire. The latter don't have to worry about life or anything thereafter, and their time is spent securing their future.

This is also the same reason why Islam became popular, gathering multiple egalitarian societies into one mutually peaceful society in Mecca, where trade and schooling prospered, inter-societal violence ceased, and the new theology united everyone under a common belief.

Any religion that starts with practical success in real world politics, society and/or economics will continue to be popular no matter what the ideology is.

I'm Christian but not the religious kind. I say "Fuck" "Ass" "Bitch" well actually all the cuss words I know. I respect everyone's religion because in the end, all we have is faith, we may never know the truth until we die.

Its not contradictory. I am Christian, I just dont go around saying "YOU SHOULD BE CHRISTIAN INSTEAD OF THAT RELIGION", I approve of/support homosexuality, I dont go to church because their bible is the bible they put into their own words to make it "Modern", I cuss.
