Explore the fundamental divide in modern Satanism: atheistic Satanism views Satan as symbol, while theistic Satanism worships Satan as a real deity. The High Satanic Church's perspective on authentic devotion.
Read Writing →Theistic Satanism is the belief that Satan exists as a real, sovereign deity — not as a metaphor, symbol, or psychological archetype. Theistic Satanists worship Satan as a genuine supernatural being. This is entirely distinct from atheistic Satanism as practiced by the Church of Satan or The Satanic Temple, which use Satanic imagery without believing in Satan's literal existence.
The Church of Satan, founded by Anton LaVey in 1966, is atheistic — Satan is treated as a symbol of individualism, not a real deity. The High Satanic Church is theistic: we worship Satan as a real, living deity. We have absolutely no affiliation with the Church of Satan.
No. The Satanic Temple is an atheistic political activism organisation that uses Satanic imagery. The High Satanic Church is a genuine theistic congregation devoted to devotional worship of Satan as a real deity. We are completely independent with no connection to The Satanic Temple.
