I think that people should just respect other peoples beliefs if it dosnt affect other people then there is no harm in it.

Just to clarify, Satanism is not an actual religion. There is no belief in any force higher than humanity and "Satan" is just the name given to express human nature. I think the image of Satan was used by LaVey (the creator of the cult) because it impresses weak-willed anti-theists who just want to rebel against Christianity because that's the done thing to do. Interestingly, this is the exact type of person LaVey says is useless and should be disregarded lol, but there you go.

The philosophy behind LaVey's Satanism is actually not as revolutionary as he'd have liked to think, it was almost exactly the same as JS Mill's stance on political philosophy and the aspect of "liberty", and Mill is much clearer in his book (On Liberty) of the finer points of it and how it can be practically done than LaVey, who is not much more than a cub scout leader in my view.

It is not a religion no it is more a phillosophy and I don't know where in LaVeys writings you got that "Satan was used by LaVey (the creator of the cult) because it impresses weak-willed anti-theists who just want to rebel against Christianity because that's the done thing to do. " So if you could point that out it would be good.

He uses satan to represent the forces of nature aswell as the image of "Mans Nature" and Human desires that we feel. The philosophy is to indulge in those carnal desires that are inherent in man. (the writer/book you quoted, can you send me a link to where I can read it.. I am interested in how he represents "Liberty" )

To be honest, anyone that is a Satanist just makes me think very low of them.

Satanism is just like any other religion, it's only really bashed around alot because of the Satan part of Satanism.

In short it is a religion with no rules at all and a religion where you can do what ever you feel like.
sounds good
