You can't even spell Satanism right.
Satanism is not a religion. Satanism never was a religion. There are soo many different views of Satanism and mostly, it's just a way to try and get attention and to piss off Christians. Truthfully, it is just as annoying as Christianity. |

Satanism is not a religion. Satanism never was a religion. Exactly. For something to be a religion, don't you have to have a deity to worship? As Waccoon defined it, Satanism is basically indulging yourself, he never said anything about actually worshipping Satan. It's just like Buddhism. It's not a religion. It's only a way of life. |

As Waccoon defined it, Satanism is basically indulging yourself, he never said anything about actually worshipping Satan. It's just like Buddhism. It's not a religion. It's only a way of life. "Religion is commonly defined as a group of beliefs concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions and rituals associated with such belief. [1]" Main Entry: religious Pronunciation: ri-'li-j&s Function: adjective Etymology: Middle English, from Old French religieus, from Latin religiosus, from religio 1 : relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity <a religious person> <religious attitudes> 2 : of, relating to, or devoted to religious beliefs or observances 3 a : scrupulously and conscientiously faithful b : FERVENT, ZEALOUS It isn't required that you worship a deity to be considered religous. Nor is it required that a system of belief recognize a deity to be considered a religion. Such a definition is far to narrow and exclusive. Although Satanists do not worship a deity, Satanism is certaintly still a religion because of it's ultimate view on reality, it's traditions, practices, moral codes, and dogmatic attitudes to all of these things. Buddhism is also a religion. Although Satanism and Buddhism may also be recognized as philosophies of sorts, they are most certaintly still religions. |

Such a definition is far to narrow and exclusive. Ahh, thank you for clearing that up.Although Satanists do not worship a deity, Satanism is certaintly still a religion because of it's ultimate view on reality, it's traditions, practices, moral codes, and dogmatic attitudes to all of these things. Buddhism is also a religion. Although Satanism and Buddhism may also be recognized as philosophies of sorts, they are most certaintly still religions.
