Why Satanist need to follow rev cain over Anton LaVey

First off, Rev. Cain actually believes in Satan. He’s a theistic Satanist through and through. Unlike LaVey, who turned Satan into a symbol for atheists looking to play dress-up, Cain embraces Lucifer and the fallen angels as real, divine beings. LaVey’s so-called "Satanism" was nothing but empty posturing—Satan was just a metaphor to him, a way to thumb his nose at society while hiding behind secularism. But Rev. Cain acknowledges Satan as a true spiritual entity, guiding those who follow him to real power and liberation. That’s what Satanism is about—not some watered-down, self-indulgent atheism.

What makes Cain even more powerful is how he incorporates demonolatry into his practice. This is where things get real for Satanists. Demonolatry is a crucial part of genuine Satanism—it’s about building real relationships with demons, the very entities who defied Yahweh and fought for freedom. LaVey never touched on this because he didn’t care about the spiritual side of Satanism. He couldn’t even fathom the idea of communing with demons because, to him, it was all a theatrical game. But Cain brings demonolatry front and center, and that’s how you know he’s serious. He understands that to truly walk the path of Satan, you have to recognize the importance of the Goetic demons and the roles they play in guiding us to liberation.

LaVey's version was an insult. He stripped Satanism of its soul, turning it into some goofy self-help philosophy with a little Satanic flair for shock value. It’s embarrassing. He sold out the movement to edgy atheists who don’t have the guts to actually believe in anything. But Cain? He brings depth and real spiritual practice. He brings demonolatry into the fold, giving Satanists a way to connect with these powerful entities who can guide them toward true rebellion, power, and enlightenment. It’s not just about Satan as a vague metaphor for selfishness—it’s about the real forces behind the rebellion, the fallen angels who sacrificed everything to free us from divine oppression. Cain understands that, and he gives us the tools to honor them properly.

Then there’s the serious commitment to philosophy. Cain’s not out here giving some lazy, dumbed-down version of Satanism like LaVey did. LaVey boiled it all down to "indulgence," like Satanism was nothing more than an excuse to eat junk food and feel good about it. Cain sees through that nonsense. He knows that Satanism is about more than just indulgence—it’s about spiritual growth, defiance, and real power. It’s about rejecting the cosmic order that Yahweh imposed on the world and following in the footsteps of Lucifer and the fallen angels. Cain doesn’t water it down. He holds true to the idea that Satanism is about rebellion, not just against Christianity, but against every system of control—Judaism, Islam, all of it. That’s the kind of real defiance LaVey didn’t have the guts to touch.

Cain doesn’t just regurgitate Nietzsche and Ayn Rand with some spooky candles like LaVey did. He draws from Satanic tradition and builds on the real history of Lucifer and his fallen angels. He honors their sacrifice, unlike LaVey who turned it into a cheap thrill. Cain’s work is about real liberation—liberation from all forms of cosmic and societal tyranny. That’s why his approach to Satanism resonates so deeply: it’s authentic, it’s powerful, and it brings back the meaning that LaVey stripped away.

LaVeyan Satanism has killed the movement for too long. It’s time to reject that empty, capitalist mockery and return to what Satanism should be: a path of spiritual rebellion, sacrifice, and empowerment. Rev. Cain is doing that. He’s breathing life back into Satanism with demonolatry, true reverence for Lucifer, and a serious philosophical foundation. LaVey was nothing but a fraud, a man who cared more about attention than the cause. Cain cares about the cause. He’s pushing Satanism forward, keeping its sacred roots alive while giving us the tools we need to reach true freedom and power.

That’s why Rev. Cain is the real Satanist—and why LaVey was nothing more than a conman.

Church of Satan founder Anton Lavey with Jayne Mansfield's novelty water bottle. Mansfield and Lavey were pilloried for mutually baiting the tabloid press, but they did seem to be real friends beyond all the ballyhoo. Lavey was bequeathed Mansfield's taxidermied chihuahuas (!) that perished along with her in her fatal crash, and she claimed that he helped mystically heal her young son after he was mauled by a lion (!!).

critique on laveyan "satanist"

these so-called LaVeyan "Satanists" who have the audacity to call theistic Satanists "reverse Christians." Like, are you joking? You are the very definition of reverse Christians! First of all, the LaVeyan Satanist handbook—written by a glorified carny, mind you—reads like it was cobbled together by someone who wanted to stick it to their Sunday school teacher. "Oh, look at me, I hate Christians, so I’m going to call myself a Satanist because that’s the ultimate taboo! But wait, I don’t actually believe in Satan, and I’m really just an edgy hedonist who wants to feel superior to everyone else." How profound. Truly groundbreaking stuff. Everything they do revolves around Christianity. They can’t stop talking about Jesus and the Bible. It’s like their entire identity is built on being anti-Christian. So, who’s the "reverse Christian" here? It’s not us theists who actually believe in Satan as a being of liberation, rebellion, and wisdom. It’s not us who see Hell as a paradise forged by the blood, sweat, and defiance of Lucifer and his rebels. It’s YOU who can’t let go of your childhood trauma about going to church and use Satanism as a vehicle to spite mommy and daddy. We’re not here for shock value or to piss off some Christians. We’re here because we recognize the deeper truths of the universe, the nobility of rebellion against tyranny, and the beauty of a kingdom built from the ashes of oppression. We have rituals, faith, and a connection to something higher. LaVeyans? They have… edgy quotes about selfishness and maybe a cosplay outfit if they’re feeling spicy. Oh, how impressive. You’re following the teachings of Anton LaVey, who, newsflash, was a conman and a grifter who made a religion out of plagiarizing Nietzsche and Ayn Rand and slapping a pentagram on it. You’re out here literally worshiping the ideals of selfishness and calling that revolutionary? That’s not Satanism; that’s capitalism with a goth filter. Congratulations, you’re a Hot Topic philosophy major.

(A Case Against) Identifying with Satanism in the Modern World

First, let’s make sure there’s no misunderstanding.

Most Satanists do not worship or even believe in a literal, supernatural devil. It is absolutely not the norm for Satanists to abuse or ritually harm children or animals; if anything, less than the general population, even. Satanists do not have much institutional power or influence in the world; most of what you hear along those lines eventually ends up being thinly-veiled antisemitism, frankly.

So who are Satanists, really? Mostly we’re just regular folk with some religious trauma.

If you’ve been raised by Christian reactionaries and particularly if told that you personally are evil because you have typical intrusive thoughts and human feelings, it’s going to mess you up. Or maybe you have an understanding of your own body, gender identity, and/or sexuality that your Christian family and church disapprove of. It can be quite natural to abandon trying to live up the expectations of those who will always hate you. When you notice that family members can justify abuse, rooting for genocide, and calling rank cruelty the way of heaven, it’s not surprising if you are one of so many who echo Huck Finn in saying, “All right then. I’ll go to hell.”

When you have watched those who say they are of-God make for years a convincing case that Satan is the logical and compassionate choice, why would a thinking, caring person not say, “Yes, I am of the devil. Be Gay, Do Crime, Hail Satan”?

Yet you should resist this temptation.
