History of Satanism

Satanism is a group of ideological and philosophical beliefs based on Satan.[1] Contemporary religious practice of Satanism began with the founding of the Church of Satan in 1966, although a few historical precedents exist. Prior to the public practice, Satanism existed primarily as an accusation by various Christian groups toward perceived ideological opponents, rather than a self-identity. Satanism, and the concept of Satan, has also been used by artists and entertainers for symbolic expression.

Accusations that various groups have been practicing Satanism have been made throughout much of Christian history. During the Middle Ages, the Inquisition attached to the Roman Catholic Church alleged that various heretical Christian sects and groups, such as the Knights Templar and the Cathars, performed secret Satanic rituals. In the subsequent Early Modern period, belief in a widespread Satanic conspiracy of witches resulted in mass trials of alleged witches across Europe and the North American colonies. Accusations that Satanic conspiracies were active and that they were behind events such as Protestantism and the French Revolution continued to be made in Christendom during the eighteenth to the twentieth century. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Satanic ritual abuse hysteria spread through the United States and United Kingdom, amid fears that groups of Satanists were regularly sexually abusing and murdering children in their rites. In most of these cases, there is no corroborating evidence that any of those accused of Satanism were actually practitioners of a Satanic religion or guilty of the allegations levelled at them.

Disappointed more than anything, hoping for reviewable information to access without the internet or literature handy and I get slop coated in conformative ad-blocks.. stupidity... Absolute stupidity..

I like this app very much. It informs you about satanism and its past. Ignore all the christians in the reviews. They are only here to hate on us and what we support. I suggest this app if you are thinking about converting to satanism or are just here for information. Either way, great app.

OMG all the contents of this app is just copy pasted from Wikipedia. i want to know more about all the religions in the world. yes including the "bad" ones. sadly this app is not what i am looking for. I say look at the Wikipedia page about satanism rather than download this app, it's the same thing.

Brilliant app. My favourite part of the reviews is the pedo supporters leaving one stars.

Satan is one helluva nice dude. I'm a huge fan of free will and if you choose to believe what the bible has to say about things, well, you can thank Ol' Red himself for standing up to the "Big Sky Daddy" so you can choose. In a world of sheep, he's the GOAT

Good information

A. G. u. Jun 16, 2018     

Be careful, who ever thinks this evil book is good be aware that Jesus christ Son of God the father is coming soon wather you believe it or not but it don't change that fact, and every man shall bow before the Lord even Satan himself will be powerless as a human, not only shall man bow but they will be judged. Hell is waiting for those who refuse to listen.

A. G. u. Jul 24, 2018     

Only downloaded and installed to say this app is TRASH. Vile garbage. Satan/The way of TRUTH means adversary in Hebrew, and completely precedes all of the fake religions that followed after. Christianity was created as a TOOL to rid you of your spiritual power. Don't waste your time trying to change my mind, but if this message appeals to you, look into Joy Of Satan (angel fire website)

A. G. u. Jun 23, 2018     

Very informative on Satanism, spot on in every way. Hail Satan.

A. G. u. Jan 25, 2018     

I still think it a good app very inforative, and helpful in my decision of become a follower of Lucifer
