Is there such a thing as "atheist confirmation bias" or are they somehow immune to general conditions of being human?

Hi all, I would like your serious opinion about if you think Satanism is portrayed in the media, and if so, why?
In my past experience, I have thought to myself that every day, if I venture to turn on the television in the morning, no matter what channel I am looking at, I will see the influence and portrayal of Satanism within an hour. And the strange thing is that I have not really proven wrong that theory. Now some of you may think that I am be seeing an illusion and that my perception of things demonic is just paranoia.
In your thoughts, I am asking you to accept that most people who are occult or involved in secret societies (the church of Satan is a secret society because for example the son of the founder of the church revealed that what truly goes on in the inside if not what is revealed to the media) acknowledge the use of symbols to display certain meanings and symbols are a way of communicating to other members without speaking words. You may not think that people in the media communicate with such symbols, but at least we can agree that the church of Satan does have certain hand symbols that contain meaning.
One of these symbols is the rock and roll sign, which is holding up the pinky and pointer fingers up and folding the fingers in between. This is a documented and established hand sign from the church of Satan, which by the way was originated right before the rock and roll era.
So why are teenagers on the news this morning displaying it? See, a group of teenagers in the San Diego area have formed a company and on their T-Shirts and hats, it has a big picture of that satanic hand sign. Do these kids realize that this symbol is documented to be a curse sign from the church of Satan? Do the rock and roll and musical youth showing that sign, do they know of it's affiliation to the satanic church or do they care?
For me it is just another day of seeing satanism in the media. But to see that the youth is showing this sign to the other youth, why is nobody talking about it's meaning?
Now some of you may think I am wrong, but in sign language the hand sign for I love you is this same hand sign. And the sign they made for the peace symbol? That used to be on the graves of Nazi's with a skull and bones next to it. Some people are too stubborn to believe that the people who literally created the world we live in are satanic, but I personally am not one to ignore such things, because the people who are jumping on the bandwagon, they may think they are smart but they are really not that smart.

You see what you want to see. If you buy a new car, suddenly you begin seeing how many of that model car are on the road. If you are a Christian, you see "signs of Christ" everywhere you look. It's a form of confirmation bias. Nobody is putting the symbols you see in place on purpose.

I’m a Christian and I don’t see signs of Christ everywhere. What I see is tons of occult type symbols on television, in music, on awards shows.. even commercials. I avoid television and movies for the most part these days, but yes... Satanic influences are everywhere , even on ATS 😕.

Not much difference if you ask me. Two sides of the same coin. Some Christians see the light side. Some see the dark side. Obviously, you see the latter.
