Satanism

Satanism encompasses a range of ideological, philosophical, and spiritual beliefs that generally emphasize individualism, self-empowerment, and the rejection of traditional religious doctrines. There are two main branches: LaVeyan Satanism, which is atheistic and promotes self-interest, rationality, and personal development as central tenets, and Theistic Satanism, where adherents believe in and worship Satan as a deity or supernatural being. Many Satanists simply view it as a symbolic rejection of religious authority and societal norms.
