Lavey doesn't believe in Satan in the literal sense.

They rally behind it as a symbol of rebellion against the church.

They actually worship themselves. It's all about ego and selfishness.

Now there may be other groups that do literally worship Satan but the Satanic Bible is athiestic.

I actually stopped going to church because I read that book. Not because I changed my values but because the church got mad at me for reading it.

Well, I found most people at church didn't know what the hell they were talking about so I checked out the enemy's playbook. Now I know why I don't like those people. They believe in moral relativism and ego worship.

Did you know that like 99% of America, including most Christians actually follow the core tenets of Satanism? Surely it's not intentional for most of them, but it's true.
