I haven't become a satanist, but I am fascinated by the character of the devil.

The term often has a dark or negative connotation, implying sinister practices.

Some think satanists engage in illegal activities, but this is a misconception and not true for all.

In the 1980s, fear of satanism spread widely in what's now called the 'Satanic Panic'.

Some misconstrue satanism as simply devil worship, ignoring its complex beliefs and principles.

The Church of Satan often uses humor and satire in its practices, not always meant to be taken seriously.

Satanism can be associated with political stances, advocating for separation of church and state.
