The currents of modern Satanism

This group holds the organised currents of modern Satanism, a set of new religious and philosophical movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These are diverse and often mutually critical, and most are best understood not as devil-worship but as movements that adopt Satan as a symbol of self-determination or opposition.

The browser will find atheistic and symbolic forms, which treat Satan as an emblem of individualism rather than a literal being, alongside theistic currents. The atlas describes each group's stated philosophy and origin, distinguishing them from the imagined satanism of moral panics.
