FAQ: SATANISM WITHOUT THE BULLSHIT
No gods. No masters. No excuses.
What even is this FAQ, and why should I care?
Because most people have no clue what Satanism actually is. They hear “Satan” and picture goat heads, blood orgies, and possessed teenagers in horror movies. This FAQ cuts through the superstition and lays it out straight—no sugarcoating, no sermons, just facts with bite. If you’re here to understand Satanism without the bullshit, start reading.
Do Satanists worship the devil?
No. Satanists don’t believe in or worship any literal being—not God, not the devil. Satan is a symbol of rebellion, pride, and self-liberation. He represents the outsider, the questioner, the adversary—everything mainstream religion teaches you to fear. We don’t kneel to imaginary masters; we rise on our own terms.
Why are those who actually worship Satan, Lucifer, or the Devil not Satanists?
Because Satanism doesn’t involve worship at all. If you’re bowing to a supernatural being—whether it’s Satan, Lucifer, or Papa Smurf—you’re playing a different game. Satanism is atheistic. No gods. No devils. No masters. Just you, your will, and your life on your terms.
Is Satanism about doing evil or harming others?
No. Satanism is rooted in self-responsibility and justice, not malice. It rejects turning the other cheek in favor of treating people as they treat you. It’s not about cruelty—it’s about refusing to be anyone’s victim. Do no harm—unless someone earns it, then act with proportion and purpose.
Do Satanists perform sacrifices involving animals or people?
Absolutely not. That’s pure tabloid hysteria and Hollywood nonsense. Satanic philosophy forbids harming animals or people unless it’s in self-defense. Rituals in Satanism are symbolic, theatrical, and personal—not criminal. We’re not butchers—we’re thinkers with candles.
What do Satanists believe in if not God or Satan?
We believe in ourselves. Satanism promotes self-reliance, personal responsibility, and rational thought. There are no divine saviors or celestial babysitters. Your life is yours to shape, own, and live fully. Satanists don’t outsource meaning—we build it internally.
What is the Satanic Bible, and how does it differ from the Christian Bible?
The Satanic Bible, written by Anton LaVey, is a philosophical text—not holy scripture. It lays out Satanic values, ethics, and rituals from an atheistic point of view. It encourages strength, indulgence, and pride—not guilt, fear, or submission.
Why use the name ‘Satan’ if you don’t believe in him?
Because the name ‘Satan’ challenges religious authority and hypocrisy better than anything else. It’s the ultimate symbol of resistance. We don’t use it to shock—we use it to signify that we stand against dogma, not beneath it.
Is Satanism just edgy atheism?
No. Satanism isn’t about being edgy—it’s about being awake. It’s a structured philosophy with rituals, ethics, and principles focused on personal empowerment. Unlike atheism, which is just a lack of belief, Satanism offers a worldview centered on the self as the highest authority.
Do Satanists believe in magic?
Yes, but not the supernatural kind. Satanic magic is symbolic and psychological—rituals that serve to focus will, express emotion, or trigger personal transformation. It’s psychodrama, not spellcasting. Power comes from the self, not spirits.
Is Satanism legal and protected under religious freedom laws?
Yes. In countries with religious freedom, Satanism is just as legally protected as any other religion. You may not like it, but the Constitution doesn’t care about your feelings. Belief in gods isn’t required for religious rights.
Can you be a Satanist and still be a good person?
Absolutely. If by ‘good’ you mean honest, accountable, and respectful when deserved—then yes. Satanism doesn’t demand perfection, just integrity. We don’t aim to be saints. We aim to be real, responsible, and unchained.
Is Satanism just about being selfish?
Satanism promotes rational self-interest, not blind greed. It’s about valuing yourself, setting boundaries, and not being used. You can care for others and still put yourself first. Martyrdom is not a virtue here—strength is.
Do Satanists hate Christians or other religions?
No. Hatred requires emotional investment. We simply reject religious authority and its claims. Satanists don’t care what you believe—until you try to force it on someone else. Then we get loud.
Is Satanism a cult?
No. There’s no central figure to worship, no groupthink, and no blind obedience. Satanism encourages questioning everything—even itself. It’s the anti-cult: no loyalty tests, no tithes, no Kool-Aid.
Are all Satanists the same?
Not even close. Some are goths, some are punks, some are soccer moms. Satanism isn’t a uniform—it’s a mindset. The only common thread is self-ownership and the refusal to bow.
Isn’t Satanism associated with supremacist groups or criminal behavior?
Only by the lazy and uninformed. Satanism has no connection to white supremacy or hate movements—those parasites misuse any symbol they can to look edgy. Real Satanists judge people by merit, not skin color or identity. As for crime? Satanism rejects mindless destruction. We don’t glorify violence—we glorify personal power, responsibility, and reason. You want chaos and cruelty? Look to history’s holy books, not ours.
Do Satanists believe in an afterlife?
No. Satanism is rooted in atheism—no gods, no heaven, no hell, and no cosmic continuation. We don’t live for “someday.” This life is all there is, and that’s what makes it matter. You get one shot—make it count.
Isn’t Satanism just rebellion for rebellion’s sake?
No. It’s rebellion with cause. We don’t resist just to make noise—we resist systems that demand submission. If a rule is just, fine. If it’s tyranny dressed as virtue, it burns.
Can you be a Satanist and still follow the law?
Yes. Being law-abiding doesn’t mean being obedient. It means knowing when to fight smart. Satanists aren’t anarchists—we’re pragmatists. We follow laws that don’t require self-erasure.
What’s the difference between the Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple?
The Church of Satan, founded in 1966, focuses on philosophy, private practice, and self-deification. The Satanic Temple is a political activist group using Satanic imagery to push legal battles. One is a religion; the other is performance with paperwork.
Do you have to join the Church of Satan?
NO. Satanism isn’t about membership cards or gatekeepers. You don’t need anyone’s permission to be a Satanist. If you understand the philosophy and live it, you’re in. Titles are optional. Integrity is not.
If Satanism isn’t about gatekeepers, why say there’s only one kind of Satanism?
Because rejecting gatekeepers doesn’t mean accepting every pentagram-wearing prayer circle as “Satanism.” Real Satanism is atheistic, individualistic, and anti-authoritarian. If you’re worshiping Satan or Lucifer, you’re in a theistic religion—not Satanism. Calling that out isn’t gatekeeping—it’s accuracy. You either live by Satanic principles, or you’re playing dress-up.
