Satan-worship is evil, regardless of the variations of it. It is a question of good vs evil. I don't care if satan picks up a $20 bill and finds the rightful owner and returns it... every single time. He still seeks that every person that he can turn to sin and away from God, he will do it. He is the very definition of evil, to follow a form of satanism because the govt approves of it, or schools have clubs for it, does NOT make it good compared to one that does not have those things. Jesus Christ came to bring forgiveness to sinners, to make us clean before an almighty God, and to give us the righteous robes that He has earned for Himself, as a free gift of grace to us.
So, that's a problem... not sure how to make this more evident. Satan is bad. Following satan is bad. Following people who follow satan is bad. If you are merely concerned with going [back] to a free and sovereign state, you might have missed history class. It was Christianity and Roman government ideologies that invented this country. Christianity is necessary because you need a God who holds a perfect standard, one that we can't live up to, because then you know there is no individual whom you can trust to be the perfect leader, even when you have a group of them. Christianity does not have governmental laws nor regulations, in fact, quite the opposite. There is purposefully no governmental ideologies after Christ. So to form a government out of this view, you need to have another set of ideals along side of it, in come the "great thinkers." This is how the republic was born. You may ask, why not any other religion plus the "great thinkers." I would argue that a God who has a personal relationship with you, one whom you fear His consequences, and seek to do His will over your own selfish will, is the only God that could have been the reason. Thousands of years and powerful people, intelligent people, and wise people have lived on earth, at the very least. Yet not one has created a freedom loving republic until the United States of America. You have to acknowledge that there is something very right about the founding of this country. Satan may tell a thousand truths to help you believe one lie, and it is from the foundation of believing in his lies, that his trap is set and sprung. I can guarantee you this, you will not be ultimately fulfilled if you follow atheism nor satanism. You will have a longing in your heart, and if you so numb that part of your soul, then surely in the next life, that longing will be made evidently more clear, that there will be no confusion. And that, to me, is far more important than fixing this world, if I had to give up my soul to satan to do it, I would not, I would never, no never, forsake my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
