Satanism

From Wikireligion

Satanism is a religion based upon the philosophy of Church of Satan founder Anton Szandor LaVey as outlined in The Satanic Bible and other works.

"Satan" is appropriated as a positive symbol of this worldview, an archetype or the ultimate symbol of the self and egotism. LaVey explains that Satan is only a symbol in an interview with Washington Post magazine.

"Satan is just a symbol, nothing more," LaVey says. "Satan signifies our love of the worldly and our rejection of the pallid, ineffectual image of Christ on the cross."
