Devil worshiping has taken roots in our univers

Welcome to the
official website of
the Church of
Satan.
Founded on April 30,
1966 c.e. by Anton
Szandor LaVey, we are
the first above-ground
organization in history openly
dedicated to the acceptance of
Man’s true nature—that of a
carnal beast, living in a cosmos
that is indifferent to our
existence. To us, Satan is the
symbol that best suits the nature
of we who are carnal by birth—
people who feel no battles raging
between our thoughts and
feelings, we who do not embrace
the concept of a soul imprisoned in
a body. He represents pride,
liberty, and individualism—
qualities often defined as Evil by
those who worship external
deities, who feel there is a war
between their minds and
emotions.
As Anton LaVey explained in his
classic work The Satanic Bible , Man
—using his brain—invented all the
Gods, doing so because many of
our species cannot accept or
control their personal egos,
feeling compelled to conjure up
one or a multiplicity of characters
who can act without hindrance or
guilt upon whims and desires. All
Gods are thus externalized forms,
magnified projections of the true
nature of their creators,
personifying aspects of the
universe or personal
temperaments which many of
their followers find to be
troubling. Worshipping any God is
thus worshipping by proxy those
who invented that God. Since the
Satanist understands that all Gods
are fiction, instead of bending a
knee in worship to—or seeking
friendship or unity with—such
mythical entities, he places
himself at the center of his own
subjective universe as his own
highest value.
We Satanists are thus our own
“Gods,” and as beneficent
“deities” we can offer love to
those who deserve it and deliver
our wrath (within reasonable
limits) upon those who seek to
cause us—or that which we
cherish—harm. Magus Gilmore’s
essay “What, The Devil?” from
The Satanic Scriptures discusses this
in greater detail.
