WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE CHURCH OF SATAN.

Founded on April 30, 1966 c.e. by Anton Szandor LaVey, we are the first
above-ground organization in history openly dedicated to the acceptance of Man’s
true nature—that of a carnal beast, living in a cosmos that is indifferent to
our existence. To us, Satan is the symbol that best suits the nature of we who
are carnal by birth—people who feel no battles raging between our thoughts and
feelings, we who do not embrace the concept of a soul imprisoned in a body. He
represents pride, liberty, and individualism—qualities often defined as Evil by
those who worship external deities, who feel there is a war between their minds
and emotions.

As 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.

We Satanists are thus our own “Gods,” and as beneficent “deities” we can offer
love to those who deserve it and deliver our wrath (within reasonable limits)
upon those who seek to cause us—or that which we cherish—harm. Magus Gilmore’s
essay “What, The Devil?” from The Satanic Scriptures discusses this in greater
detail.
