Satanism - Satanism doesn't equal devil worship. Devil Worshiping in satanism is actually fairly small, a minority in a minority. A vast majority of Satanists frown upon the term Devil Worshiper. There are two main types of Satanism, LaVeyan and Theistic (also known as traditional or spiritual satanism). Others include Setian Satanism (Egyptian satanism with the deity as Set), Rebel Satanism, Modern Satanism (similar to LaVeyan), and Luciferian (tied with theistic satanism).
Rebel Satanism - More known as a Devil Worshiper. Satanism and Devil Worshiper are two different things. These are the Satanists that give other Satanists a bad name. These tend to consist of rebellious teenagers and drug addicts who use the "evil image" stereotype and have most likely have very little to no knowledge of true Satanism.
LaVeyan Satanism - LaVeyan Satanists do not worship the devil. LaVeyan Satanism is a mix of individualism, self-indulgence, and Social Darwinism. They have an eye for eye morality. LaVeyans instead use Satan as a representation for people's natural inner desires. They believe "we are our own god". Instead of worshiping an outside deity, a person should just take care of themselves and live the life that they are living now. Worship of an externalized God will exclude someone as a Satanist.
Modern Satanism - Most of this century Satanists belong here. Modern Satanism is roughly the same as LaVeyan Satanism with few differences. The biggest being for modern satanists is you won't see as many LaVeyan supporters. That doesn't mean that Anton LaVey is frowned upon.
Thiestic Satanism - According to Theistic Satanists, Satan blessed mankind with the forbidden fruit of knowledge of good and evil, therefore they see Satan as a source for good, which may also be used for evil. The Theistic Satanists do actually claim the existence of a Satan or Lucifer as a higher power or a guiding force, but they don't literally worship them. Satan is seen as a father figure.
I'm a LaVeyan Satanist :P -
Wow, so if they dont worship satan, y are they called satanists?
-
Read over that Carefully Kish, it's been said so twice.
-
Oh, ok, i get it...lol... Thanks....

I don't exactly agree with any satanists, but it drives me insane how people get these steriotypes (Did I spell that right? Nakita can't spell, waah.) stuck in their head, like all white people are evil racists, all satanists worship satan, all homeschoolers are unsocialized, etc.
-
lmao, I just make my own morals, thats about as Laveyan Satany I am.
But yeah I agree, it's really annoying, I don't recall ever worshipping satan (nor believing in him) -
tongue ExperiencedI've long thought that if God exists, he's a major douchebag, so I like the idea behind Theistic Satanism.
-
Well then tongue. lol

I'd say I'm either a Modern/LeVayen Satanist or a Theistic Satanist. I can't believe I was BORN with this religion, and I still don't know what type I am! xD
