There are many brands of Satanism, I'll outline 2 of these:

First, there is LaVey (I think) Satanism. This promotes worship of one's self, practicing indulgence in the 7 "deadly" sins, and other such things. This is pretty much just a step up from Atheism where instead of the high range of morals that Atheists have, you get "lower" morals. (An Atheist can still believe in what the Cristian Church preaches in terms of morals. i.e. monogamy, abstinence before marriage, etc. while not believing in God. LaVey Satanists can't have similar morals to the Church.) This practice has nothing to do at all with Lucifer, or any of his followers. These are not bad people, freaks, or any of the other labels they've been given on this site.

Another type of Satanist is the Lucifarian (SP?) Satanists, who worship Lucifer (Satan, The Devil, The Fallen Angel, The Morning Star) as their idol. These people worship Lucifer because he is the bringer of forbidden light, he wanted humanity to have the knowledge that God and his angels do. I think they believe in a sort of "unholy trinity" consisting of Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Astaroth(SP?), though I'm not sure about that last point.
Note: Neither type of Satanism are bad people, they believe what they believe, discriminating against them is just as bad as discriminating against Muslims, Jews, or any other religion. Also, Satanist being anti-Cristian is of no importance, as all monotheist religions are anti-other religions.

P.S. I'm atheist, so this is fairly objective =D

An shallow atheistic "religion" that is a facade of pretentious moral subjectivism, mixing anti-christian and pagan imagery with a watered-down version of the philosophies of Nietzsche and the Marquis de Sade, that appeals largely to angry teenagers, Black Metal bands, and those who want to rebell against the percieved hypocrisy of religion and morality to justify their own selfishness.
Using Satanism to attack Christianity is like using Darth Vader to attack Star Wars. All you're disagreeing with is who wins in the end. It's stupid.

Satanism doesn ' t mean you worship the devil ,
in ancient hebrew , satan meant the opposer ,
Satan opposes the hypocritical morals of the so called " holy church " and its followers ,
so basicly , if you follow satanism ,
that just means your an atheist ,
a aggressive atheist

1. To actually worship the devil. There is Luciferianism, but for the most part this is just a lie created by the church to strengthen people's faith in god. See bullshit.

2. Created by Anton Szandor LaVey, this is a religion that is basically Ayn Rand's and Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy set to rules and satanic imagery.

3. Setian Satanism, worshiping the Egyptian god of the desert, storms, and chaos, Set (Pronounced Seth)
Satanism is a bunch of attention-grabbing bullshit, any kind.

a "religion" that is a compendium of moral subjectivism, watered down Nietzche, and De Sade as well as some anti christian and Pagan ideas. It is also associated with darkness and violence. It is generally practised by angry immature pizza faced teens who are insecure and immature...
This is also the sort of thing that is a scapegoat for Columbined High Style School Shootings... By the way, due to the very dark and violent nature of this, it gets the practicioners a royal fucking up from the football and wrestling teams. The victims of said fucking up tend to chant the name of their dark lord while they're getting fucked up by the football and wrestling teams, is if that will help: The belief and advertisement of it is what starts the shit to begin with...
Uh, Oh!! The computer geeks and goths who do satanism better watch out! The football and wrestling teams are looking to fuck up somebody for squicking out them and the other "norms"!
