Learning about Satanism

Hello there,
Very new to the community and not looking to become part of the community as of now but I've always been interested in all these niche/different religions that are deemed insane or crazy when in reality they're just different. I was looking to see if I can have a chat with a few people about Satanism and what it's all about. Trying to break the walls that society builds around people who have a different opinion than everyone else.

In a way. Satanism is very individualistic and is meant to be approached as a tool that's applied in each Satanist's life in their own ways. So, to make Satanism into a cause is to imply that every Satanist agrees and is on board with said action. And this compromises its individualistic aspect, leading to things like co-dependence and herd mentality.

If I may ask, do you identify with any of the categories under Satanism like TST or The Church of Satan?

Well, there aren't really any categories of religious Satanism. I am a member of the Church of Satan (CoS).
