There are various kinds of Satanists that each describe Satanism in their own unique ways and have squabbled over the real meaning.

Satanism is not one belief system like a religion. Satanism is a wide range of beliefs and theologies that have a positive view of the figure of the figure we call Satan.

The most common "school" of modern Satanism is regarded as "aethetic" Satanism: they see Satan as a symbolic figure of ambition, non-conformity and the power of the will. A symbolism more than an actual person or deity.

The best-known symbolic Satanist organization is the Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey.

But there are a growing number of people who worship Satan as a deity.

Generally, these people don't regard Satan as the figure known in Christianity, but revere him as the image of an Ancient God descended from ancient polytheism - a modern-era version of:

  • Egyptian god Set, 
  • Greek Titan Prometheus
  • Sumerian god Enki. 

I believe that the Temple of Set is the largest organization that subscribes to such a belief.
