A lot of religionists already think we are Lucifer's minions, best not reinforce that belief. Lets not give them amno, despite being bollocks and in clear sarcasm.
That's the thing with satanism: one doesn't choose to be a satanist but Christians proclaim that you are a satanist for various reasons, like: 1) you don't believe in their gods; 2) you play D&D; 3) you listen to heavy metal music; 4) you're gay; 5) acknowledge evolution, etcetera
So according to many Christians you are already a satanist.
Indeed, satanism is not an actual religion because it would be an oxymoronic religion since you would first have to believe in Christian God and then believe in Satan, but it rather serves to troll Christians when they want to display 10 commandments on public land, put prayer in schools and other ways that they do to create a theocracy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
