Satanism is very different from the worshipping of the Christian Satan, or demons. It's an atheistic philosophy of life, celebrating man's carnal instincts, and not to supress your indulgences. Anton Szandor LaVey was the first person to give this way of living a life, and he chose Satanism. If Satanism has nothing to do with the Devil or demons, why does it have the word Satan in it? Satan is a symbol for indulgence, for what other people perceive as "evil". We believe that man is God, so birthdays are the most important of the Satanic holidays. The other Satanic holidays are the Solstices, and Walpurgisnacht (Hallow's Eve). The symbol of Satanism is the pentagram, with the head of Baphomet in it. There are nine Satanic statements, and eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth. The Satanic Bible was released in 1966, written by LaVey. It contains the books of Satan, Lucifer, Belial, and others. As well, it contains the Thirteen Keys, translated by LaVey himself. So, in short, forget what people tell you about Satanism. It's not doing drugs, killing children, or sacrificing animals, it's a celebration of indulgence and man's body.
"dude, you worship the Devil!"
"no, I practice Satanism"
"same thing!"
"go read the Satanic Bible, you ignorant wretch of a human being"
"no, I practice Satanism"
"same thing!"

Get the satanism mug.The satanic church was started in the 60's by Anton LaVey, so logic would follow that he would be able to define a satanist better than Oprah or whoever hosts Dateline or 20/20. A satanist doesn't believe in god or satan. A satanist is an atheist that believes people should be responsible for their actions.
Satanism itself addresses problems it finds with Judeo-Christian beliefs. They find that telling one's children that they should behave correctly not because its the decent thing to do but because some ridiculous land of fire will make their 'afterlife' really shitty is poor parenting.
The reason why satanists are thought of as scary people in black coats that sacrifice goats and abduct children springs from 2 sources. The first is sensationalist media outlets like Oprah and Dateline and 20/20 and all the daytime talk shows.
The second is the real reason why people believe these shows and thats the tendency of Christians to need to find evil where it doesn't exist. Christians themselves tend to be egotistical (because they only follow their faith when convenient) and like to feel more pious and self-righteous by creating an evil boogeyman that doesn't exist so they can blame society's decay on them.

Christian douchebag: Yeah so this little kid has gone missing, its gotta be the Satanists.
Non-idiot: Hmm, or it could be just a regular criminal.
Christian douchebag: No! Satanists ruin everything. Satanists make me ignore my faith by beating the hell out of my wife and sleeping with my secretary! Its okay though, as long as I go to church a lot and tell god I'm sorry for beating up my wife I'm good. Loopholes are great.

Get the satans brussel sprouts mug.Satanism is ideological bullshit. There are two types of Satanism which are both equally bullshit:
Atheistic Satanism: Comprised of edgy atheists who ignorantly think their inherently selfish ideology is superior to all other ideologies. This form of Satanism teaches that one should worship themselves and give in to all carnal pleasures. LaVeyan Satanism is this type of Satanism which also teaches its adherents to believe in superstitious magic in the seventh rule of of its "11 Satanic Rules" that they teach.
The eighth rule declares that they shouldn't complain or cry over things "they needn't subject themselves to" like definitions such as this one. Yet like hypocrites, these atheist Satanists are constantly found on social media crying about Christianity which has no impact on their life and does more beneficial things for humanity than their ideology which in the 1st rule tells them not to preach their foolish opinions (like they do everywhere) "unless asked" and in the 11th, tells them to "destroy" anyone who bothers them.
All atheistic Satanists will also get triggered over people claiming they worship Satan despite the name of their cult originating from exactly that. Worship of the devil. Atheistic Satan Churches function similar to Scientology in that regular donations are required to ascend with ex-members being subjected to harassment and witch hunts by current members as LaVey's own daughter testified to when she left the Church of Satan.

The second form of Satanism is Theistic Satanism like The Order of Nine Angels which does worship the devil, operates in secrecy and allegedly practice human sacrifices by their own claims. The one thing it has in common with atheistic Satanism is that it also teaches one to give into their addictions and carnal lusts.
All forms of Satanism are bullshit and are mere cults. Atheistic Satanism is just an extension of atheist stupidity and rebellion against religion while Theistic Satanism is comprised of those who genuinely worship and believe in the Devil.

Get the Satanism mug.A widely misunderstood religion started by Anton LeVay.
The church practices self indulgences and frowns upon altruistic behavior. The Church of Satan in no way acknowledges the existence of any devine being neither good nor evil. They worship no devil, though the phrase "hail satan" is commonly used. However in the church Satan represent the repressed desires of all humans and therefore saying "hail satan" is to hail one's self.
It is commonly believed that the church of satan is a horrible group of people that should be feared. The CoS should only be feared if one is actually a member of an archaic religion which preaches self restraint and stupid moral systems that are truly outdated. To roughly quote LeVay one of the philosophies is if someone smacks you on the cheek smash him on his and ten times more for he that turns the other cheek is like the cowardly dog that roles over when kicked. Therefore the person above who stated he beat up on satanists at school was more a satanist than the person who laid there and took it while "chanting" the name of an entity that a true satanist would not even believe to truly exist.
Many religions have broken off from satanism including but not limited The temple of Set.

While conversing in my theology class I realized that the satanist seemed to know more about christianity and satanism both than the self-professed christian who merely reaffirmed his ignorance everytime he opened his mouth.
