the Satanic Panic
A moral Panic that was instigated heavily by Christian/Catholic Televangelists that Persecuted and falsely accused Satanists of crimes they didn't commit and fear mongered against Satanism and Satanists, especially Theistic Satanists!
Even though The Satanic Panic occurred in the 80s and 90s, some argue that this event and its effects never truelly ended as yet in history.
Even to this very day, Satanists and Satanism, are persecuted, misrepresented in public media such as TV and movies. Especially Theistic Satanism!
Real Satanists, regardless of weither they are Theistic or Athiestic, are not violent or harmful in anyway! Satanists DO NOT do sacrifices or harm humans or animals!
But no, Satanism is a nonviolent belief system with a very dark looking asthetic and beliefs that are very differing to Christianity and Catholicism!
But ask yourselves a question: who benefits from other people fearing and or Hating Satanists and Satanism?
Definitely not Satanists! Over the years, many Satanists have been persecuted and many temples or churchs related to Lucifarianism and or Satanism have been the casualties of violent protests (think People throwing chairs and Christian/ Catholic Statues through the window) and Arsons.
Satanists are often verbally abused, harassed, and threatened by Christian and Catholic Extremists if they make their beliefs known!
Rather, Christians and Catholics, Particularly the more Extremist benefit from this hatred and misplaced fear of Satanists.
