I remember I read some years ago about the Satanic Church and what it stood for; as far as I remember they didn't actually worship anyone.
From the Church of Satan homepage:
Quote:
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.
I don't have time to dig deeper than that right now, but that "horned god" and "demon worshipping" sounds like nonsense to me
. I remember one part where they said sometimes they did rituals and stuff out of a certain human need of mysticism, but they didn't actually believe in external supernatural entities. It's been two years since I read about it though
