Have you met any Satanists? They're pretty chill.
If they're breaking laws, then that's the problem. If they just run around in goth clothes and are generally sad, then that's fine. Great, even.
If they like to stand on tables in public places with a stigmata in red ink on their wrists, then that's a risk they're taking. If they get assaulted for doing so, I've never heard one cry religious persecution, which it clearly is.
Melodramatic bunch, sure, but pretty chill.
I've seen that stuff. If you laugh at how ridiculous the injection of that imagery is in any modern context, they're likely to smile back at you.
BTW, have you read the Satanic Bible? If not, you should. I bet it's nothing at all like what you think it is.
It's basically a manifesto that says, "Look. People everywhere want to control you. One of the ways they try to do so is by fabricating a morality system and using it to shame you into behaving differently. The truth is that their morality system is a cartoon, some made-up BS that may or may not have any relevance to your life. The truth is that you know what is right and wrong, good and bad, without being told. There's a learning process for everyone, and mistakes will be made, but it's much better for everyone involved if we follow our own inner sense of morality than to blindly follow someone else's."
