In reply to the discussion: Satanists test Oklahoma’s religious freedoms by offering monument [View all]Bradical79
(4,490 posts)58. I vaugely remember having class with an actual Satanist
back in highschool. There was also a girl that believed she would be able to actually turn into a werewolf. Religion and belief in the supernatural takes all types. As a creation/counter deity of one group of religions' God, pretty much all elevation of Satan to his own religion probably would have started as a countermovement to Christianity, Judaism, etc.
