I agree with just about everything you say. You make great points. But I don't agree with this:

"I have nothing against Satanism. ... Again, I find nothing wrong with evil worship"

I have a HUGE problem with Satanism. I have a HUGE problem with worshipping evil. I get that you are trying to not be judgemental. But sometimes we require judgement. It's okay to be moral and take a stand. If we stand by silently on the basis of being non-judgemental, we allow this insanity and evil to flourish right under our noses.

If Satanism was a religion that taught kindness, love and compassion, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But it's a religion that is nefarious; it doesn't operate out in the open; it promotes evil. On the face of it, it's about 'rationality' and 'critical thinking' but scratch the surface and children are being sacrificed and eaten; abortions are being performed; girls are being sexually abused and traumatised for life; people are being skinned alive, decapitated, strung up, impaled, disembowelled. I am vehemently opposed to Satanism, when these are just a few 'rituals' on it's fecking calendar: http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/satanic_calendar.htm
Blood rituals, dismemberment.  Animal/human sacrifice. 17 - Satanic revels:  Sexual rituals. 20 - 26:  Sacrifice preparation:  kidnapping, holding and ceremonial preparation of person for human sacrifice. 26 - The Da Muer ritual:  Grand climax.  Sex rituals and human sacrifice of woman/child

You also state: "But those involved don’t claim to be Satanists. In fact many have gone on record as claiming they specifically aren’t Satanists and others claim to be Christians and members of other (non evil) organized religions" You are absolutely correct. I'm finding that many Satanists are operating under the guise of being very Christian. But, again, scratch the surface and you see the coding--the owls, the single eyes, the Satanic star, the goat, the panda.

With Satanism there are sort of two branches. One is the LeVay Satanists which are basically just secular humanists steeped in Rand and Nietzsche that like to piss people off by affiliating with something taboo. They consider Satan a symbol of defiance but don't literally believe in him. These people are actually (relatively speaking) pretty normal and for all their posturing they don't do anything that could really be considered evil. They are selfish libertines but they aren't sociopaths.

In the past I had believed all Satanists were basically the boring LeVay variety but Pizzagate has challenged that assumption extremely well.

According to Mark Passio, a former priest in LeVay's church of satan, Levay satanists are like the Boy Scouts of evil and a kind of a kindergarten for sociopaths. Church membership requires the applicant to fill out a questionnaire which is more like a psychological profile than anything else. Depending on how they rank and what sort of taboos they're into and what skills they have, they can go up the ladder to more secretive grottos and with greater influence.

I recommend watching some of Mark Passios vids. Particularly "demystifying the occult part 2" which covers the evil side of hidden knowledge. It was recorded in feb of 2016, and he says some chilling things in the vid that are very much related to these investigations. It also drops knowledge bombs about symbolism that could prove useful.
