Satanists in the news

[Carolyn Crotzer]

So Satanists have been making a lot of headlines out there lately, between the Oklahoma statue of Baphomet and the school pamphlets in Florida, I was thinking it might be a good idea for us all to hash out exactly what all the different kinds of Satanism are, what each group believes, how we're all different, things like that. I know I've tried to look up and research all the different groups (LaVeyans, Luciferians, Atheistic Satanists, and others) but I just seem to be getting mixed answers. Of course Joy of Satan is where it's at, but I know it would help me out a lot, and maybe others too, to know just what the other groups believe. That way when people ask "Are you one of those satanists that believes/does XYZ?" I can tell them who they are thinking of and explain the difference between the groups.
