How to Become a LaVeyan Satanist
LaVeyan Satanism is a religion based on the philosophies of Anton Szandor LaVey, who founded The Church of Satan in 1966. The basic belief is that Satan represents personal freedom and individualism. A key point of LaVeyan Satanism is that it's actually an atheistic religion and members don't worship Satan. It's more about self-gratification and exploring yourself.

Satanists seem to be more smarter than most Christians because of the fact that they don't believe in fairytales because their is no proof of them being real..People that believe in fairytales are either nuts or a running from the truth which by the way the latter is what most mainstream people run from because it terrifies them! Good day! -

Not everyone believes in the concept of sin. People also have a right to choose to worship however they see fit, without anyone else telling them otherwise.

satanism is satanism you still are worshipping something other than God where your worship needs to be. Worshipping your self is the same as worshipping satan. It's still sin and putting a god (yourself) before Him.
