Default what is your opinion ? Satanism evil or accepted by others?

is it wrong to not want satanism to be a recognized religion
i think that it's rituals are of pure evil. of course i asked this in religion and spirituality and one saw it and reported me for abusing people so try and give your opinion before one of them gets to this one

Sucks that someone reported you, you're asking a genuine question. That's pretty idiotic, but some people, especially religious fanatics, can be like that.

About the actual question: This is basically a freedom of speech question, right? I believe you should be allowed to worship what you want as long as anything that happens within the place of the gathering of those worshipers is entirely consensual. I mean, if you're OK with all that ritual stuff, then fine. As soon as people uninvolved in the religion get hurt, that's when you need to intervene.

Satanism is usually people who hate or don't believe God and use Satan to symbolize it.

Actual believing in the devil should be considered a religion.

if people feel the need to worship Satan, then that's their choice

Satanic music or references in music is not necessarily demonic worship ping.

Well i believe in God and all so this one might not count but i think that they should stop it all together because they don't know what madness they are getting into. I do have some atheist friends and i really do what them to believe in God but it's freedom of whatever you want to believe in so.

I've studied this for years. But not as a practitioner.
From the religious perspective, Satan is the god of evil and makes no claims to deny this, if you believe that such characters do exist.
That said, Satanism is the worship of an evil god and therefore evil in it's basic intent. If you read the basic doctrines that have been formulated over many centuries, the practice is aimed at enticing the evil in man, not the good or the natural as it is with Wiccans.
The Satanic arts are dark in natural and purpose with the intention to harm, control or dissuade people from what they would normally do in their lives.
However, it is a religion by definition and it's followers permitted to participate in non-criminal activities. Criminal actions by any religion are not acceptable, as we all know.
