I think you meant to say "ad hominem." And ad hominem is only valid when used to disprove the assertion made. When attempting to spur the hearer to deeper thought, it's not a logical fallacy at all.
Sometimes, this whole "SATAN ISN'T REAL, RELIGION IS DUMB!" stuff really gets to me. I've not met a single person spouting this stuff who has thought deeply about the subject.
Heads up, this article (like everything) should be read with some discernment. I think a few of the things might put emphasis in the wrong place. But it's generally good, and the broad outline is correct. It also has a ton of specific, researchable information for you all to follow.

I have personally observed evidence of someone's identity within a Satanic group being admitted into evidence in a child abuse case.
