Satanism, The Misunderstood Religion
Satanism is an evil cult or religion. For many years, the biggest misunderstanding of Satanism is the belief that Satanism consists of worshiping evil and wrongdoing. This common belief about Satanism is a big misconception. It may be a big shock toward those who truly believe Satanism worship the devil, and those who have not taken the time to truly explore what Satanism is really about. Satanism do not believe in God and their teaching is based on the idea of individualism.
It is believe that Satanism has been worshiped and revered for thousands of years. However, many people are confused on what makes a person a Satanist. They believe anyone who worship in any religions other than their own is a Satanist. The most common believe is that any religion other than Christianity, Judaism, or Islam is considered Satanism. Other religions such as Santeria, Wicca, New Age, Druidism, and other neopagans religions are also mistaken for Satanism.
Many people to this day, especially conservative Christians, view Satanism as a threat to our peaceful culture. Their fear of Satanism are based on Gothic Satanism, which made its first appearance during the Middle Ages.
