There must be a cognitive dissonance, where you know the truth but refuse to accept it. Lying to oneself. Probably the #1 reason for rejecting the Gospel.
Seems a little condescending, if I may say so.

I define Satanism very simply as a veneration of the symbol of Satan. From this basic definition, a multitude of practices and theologies emerge. Two primary branches exist: theistic and nontheistic. Theistic Satanism is a fascinating subject, but is also probably a minority view within the Satanic world and is not the focus of this post. Nontheistic Satanism is my own brand of Satanism, and is the form of Satanism espoused by the most popular Satanic organizations (Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple.)

There is in fact a real "Satan".
There is in fact a real "Satanic Bible".
There is in fact a large pagan religion that is devoted to Satan worship. Its often related to worshiping nature., but not always.
Even in the USA there is a "Church of Satan" denomination. It has a headquarters, and its in California.

Just depends on what's meant by valid. It calls itself a religion. LaVeyan Satanism (Church of Satan, Satanic Temple) is atheistic though, so atypical for religion obviously.

Anton LaVey’s daughter moved it to New York.

Thank you for the update.

That seems like the "Other" best Place for that "church".
It’s in Hell’s Kitchen New York funny enough.

My phone auto corrected LaVey’s name to Lacey’s.

What a clever devil she must be to choose that location.....

Sometimes i live in Florida, as i have a place there... where i stay, till i go back home to Netanya...Israel.
In Florida, there is a beautiful Park, in the City Center.
There is a sign..."The park is maintained by the Church of Satan". "we hope you enjoy it".
