oh and another little thing:
speaking as a former Satanist; Satanists do not worship Satan... not the way that things appear due to endless slander
Satanism was an attempt to get free of Christian oppression and takes other names under different religions. Satanism fails to do this because it is after all a religion - a set of dogmatic rules, guidelines to live by- and it fails to understand the actual underlying cause of all of this worthless and unnecessary shit we suffer from... it fails to get at the actual cause, and many atheists fail to get at this as well. Religion itself is not at the base of this or any society, not now in the present or any time in history. Satanism is actually a humanist and heidenistic religion, and really does not intend to enforce the oppressive relations that we all have with each other, but in failing to grasp what is the root of all evil winds up doing just that... It correctly goes against the feminist line, but winds up objectifying women in the final analysis... it attempts to do away with sexual abuse, but actually winds up promoting rape in an almost identical way to the "free sex" movement of the 60's (which itself was created in the 60's in the U.S.)... it attempts to free everyone, but fails to do so because of the way it winds up creating and promoting individualism(which if we investigate this, indiviualism crushes the individual by creating congregations of self-absorbed idealists becoming a type of mindless colectivism ).
Not saying that there are people calling themselves Satanists that don't go around sacrificing animals to the devil just as Christians and Jews (particular sects) sacrifice animals and people to god... but lets not jump to conclusions, and further lets understand that all that shit that (supposedly) went down during the 80's U.S. was nothing but mass hysteria, really no different from the mass hysteria promoted in Germany in the 30's.
