Satanism
Thriving pseudo-religion born in 1966, when Anton Szandor LaVey (b. 1930) founded his Church of Satan to celebrate the power and pleasures of the flesh. Satanism has little to do with the Christian Devil, and instead worships the individual as ultimately responsible for his or her own actions. The Temple of Set, which spun off from the Church of Satan in 1975, is the largest of many smaller Satanic institutions, including The Worldwide Church of Satanic Liberation, Order of the Evil Eye, and The Luciferian Light Group. These subtleties are lost, however, on born-again Christians who claim that America is in the grips of a brutal "Satanic Underground" that practices "ritual abuse" on as many as 100,000 child victims. Often relying on memories of childhood abuse "recovered" by therapists, anti-Devil crusaders have made life a living hell for thousands of innocent witch-hunt victims, as documented in Laurence Wright's harrowing book, Remembering Satan (1994).
