I would call them more of an anti-theistic religion... but I guess it is Monotheism. Satan is god, or you are god, there are different versions.

No. Pagans do not believe in Satan, making the religions not compatible.

Satanism is not a Pagan way. Pagans do not worship Satan. Paganism is a nature-based and nature-focused way of faith and belief. It is a life-affirming way.

It depends on the definition.
One definition is any of the non-Abrahamic religions, in which case, yes... Satanism would be Pagan.
The other, and more proper definition is one who follows an earth-based religion, in which case, no... Satanism is not.

Basically, Satanists are not Pagan. Both LaVeyan and theistic Satanists hold many different views than the pagan community.

Yes because Satan is worshiped; hence, the paganism

First of all, Satanism has nothing to do with the Christian Satan; it's all about doing what ever you want that makes you feel good. you don't worship a Deity, you worship yourself. the most important day of the year is your own birthday.

Now, if you mean Devil Worshipers, then no it's not Pagan in anyway because the Devil is a Christian creation.
