How come beliefs like Satanism are more common in the bible belt?
I have been doing research and I just don't understand it, can someone explain this to me, also from my research South Africa seems to have the most people interested in Satanism world wide. That place is very strongly Christian from what I have heard so it doesn't make any sense. It seems like it should be the other way around.

The USA is a young vulnerable country, it's gangs formed out of vulnerabilities and a lack of generational knowledge and wisdom.
Western capitalism, materialism thus subjectives, and consumerism conceals your souls, and you lack knowledge and wisdom which is exploited by those more vulnerable. (Cults making money)
Here is an axiom or paradigm for you:
As cave men did we struggle to even contemplate our existence as we looked to the stars barely literate and utter the word Goh! Goh! ?Oh it must be God?, but not before it became ?Elohim? (Hebrew biblical text and translates correctly to "those who came from the sky") to GOD. Oh it must be GOD!
Primitively evolved ego blames god and the devil and puts everything in little boxes in the mind in order to recognize and relate to them. This weakness exploited by others for purposes of social division, avarice greed and power over others as we beat our chests in satisfaction.
The hunt was successful today!
One of the 4 Veda's, dated 1500 BCE translated form Sanskrit to Tamil by Ramana Maharshi ?Tat Tvam Asi? in English is ?That Thou Art?, over 1500 years later Jesus Say's, ?I and My Farther are One?. Also Luke 17-21 The kingdom of God within you.
P.S This is not a polluted western religion of which are now use for purposes of indoctrination , divide and conquer and making loads of money.
This is not a dictatorial faith, it's just about the self and spiritual awareness written over 3500 years ago.
To clarify, it is in African countries with an exalted christian majority that practices such as the execution of pubescent individuals involved in homosexual activities are most widespread.
It should come as no surprise that many will be appalled but such atrocities.
It is reassuring, however.
This excerpt quote from the Catholic Encyclopedia is very revealing:
In the same way the Greeks and Romans may have worshiped their divinities, fondly believing them to be good. But the Christian Scriptures declare that all the gods of the Gentiles are demons.

The Origins of Satanism
Satanism is not a Christian invention
Satanism predates Christianity and all other religions
Satanism is not about spooks, goblins, vampires, Halloween monsters or other related entities
Satanism is not about "evil"
Satanism is not an invention of, or a "reaction" to Christianity
Satanism is not a creation of Anton LaVey
Satanism is not about death
True Satanism is about elevating and empowering humanity to reach equality with the Gods, which was our True Creator (Satan's) intention
"IN THE SECRET OF MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME"
-SATAN
From "Peace Be Unto Him"
The original religions now known as "Satanism" (by the way, "Satan" means "enemy" in Hebrew), were all based upon what is known as the "Magnum Opus" or Great Work. The one known as "Satan" is our True Creator God. He was prevented by the other Gods from finishing his work on humanity, that of the godhead. The godhead is physical and spiritual perfection. Now, if you continue to read on, I will prove this.
The serpent is seen everywhere in ancient relics and structures. The serpent was held sacred in all areas of the ancient world. Satan is the God Ea, aka ENKI, one of the first of the Nephilim to arrive on this planet and establish the first civilization. In Sumerian mythology, Enki's symbol was always the serpent.
The serpent represents the DNA, the life force and the kindling and has survived as the emblem of the American Medical Association and Veterinary medicine, where it is symbolic of life and healing. Only with the coming of Judeo/Christianity, has this sacred symbol been desecrated and blasphemed.
Nearly all of us are familiar with the term "fallen." This word has been used copiously by Christian clergy to refer to Satan and his Demons. In truth, "fallen" pertains to the kindling serpent (which has always been associated with our Creator God Satan), which has fallen in humanity as a whole and now lies dormant at the base of the spine. Because of this, humanity as a whole is on a very low level of spiritual understanding. Thoughtless abuses of children and animals, senseless wars, brutality and endless corruption are the results of the fallen serpent. The "Tree of Life" which was stolen from the ancient Pagan religions and found its way into the biblical book of Genesis, was seen in many parts of the ancient world.
