===Anti-Christianity===
Vikernes has written lyrics for several songs by the band [[Darkthrone]] (''Quintessence'', ''As Flittermice as Satan's Spies'', etc.) that make use of characteristics from old [[Germanic folklore]]. In these, [[Satan]] is brought up in the context of an 'eye' that is a source of light (i.e. the [[sun]]), with mentions of a 'spear' and a 'hall of battle', all of which are masked references to the Germanic god [[Odin]]. This was done with the double meaning of Odin as the 'adversary' of [[Judaism|Jewish]] and [[Christianity|Christian]] tradition. This has been taken as assumption that Vikernes was at one time a [[Satanist]], though Vikernes has stated many times that he is opposed to [[Satanism]] as he considers it to be a reactionary form of [[Christianity]].
"Christianity was created by some decadent and degenerated Romans as a tool of oppression, in the late Roman era, and it should be treated accordingly. It is like "handcuff's" to the mind and spirit and is nothing but destructive to mankind. In fact I don't really see Christianity as a religion. It is more like a spiritual plague, a mass psychosis, and it should first and foremost be treated as a problem to be solved by the medical science. Christianity is a diagnosis. It's like Islam and the other Asian "religions", a HIV/AIDS of the spirit and mind." - Vikernes thoughts about Christianity from the Chris Mitchell's interview with him for [[The Metal Crypt E'Zine]], 10th May 2005.
