Reason:

Had con been a critical troll, he could have taken this.

"3) The sense of belonging is often exploited by politicians to get what they want and do horrible things in the name of religion."

He could have leaned on that, as it's very useful for corrupt politicians. The satanism argument was funny, but no benefit was demonstrated (pun intended). Had he mixed it with pro's point 3, of getting donations and such at satanic orgies, then he would have had a fighting chance.

As is, the debate boils down to a foregone conclusion. Pro outlines why religion is outdated, and con basically says hail Satan.
