3. Modern Satanism/Laveyan Satanism A great dispute between the adepts of Modern Satanism and those of Traditional Satanism exists since many years. According to their rivals, they cannot be considered Satanists because they do not worship Satan and don’t view him as an entity. They consider that Satan is a mere symbol, or in some cases an energy that they use. It all began in the year 1966 when an individual named Anton Szandor LaVey decided to create a religious movement based on his philosophy of life and Satanism. This movement was later called LaVeyan Satanism who later became synonymous with Modern Satanism in the time of the foundation of C.o.S. (Church Of Satan) and the apparition of the Satanic Bible, both created by Anton Lavey. Essentially, the “laveyan” movement represents a philosophy which helps the individual to separate himself from his former religion, especially Christianity and to introduce him in a certain way of “Satanic” thinking. They say that the only god is yourself and that the gods of the old religions are some kind of archetypes. Mostly, the whole philosophy of the religion current can be found in the Satanic Bible which has been vehemently criticized as being a veritable copy of the book Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard. They have been criticized for years, being considered atheists, narcissists and humanists.
