Is Satanism a valid religion?

By "valid", I mean something that isn't just a bunch of rebellious teen kids being idiots. Of course it's valid in the sense that it is a religion, but...you know what I mean.

Of course!

All organized religion is a cult. Cults are only thought to be horrible things like sex cults and satanism buit look up the definitions of a cult. The word stems from the word cultivate. Satanism is a religion. They believe in a power greater then themselves. Perform rituals and worship and diety or icon all parts of a cult or religion!

Of course Satanism is a valid religion, just like atheism is a valid religion. Are they good religions? That's a different debate.

Side: Of course!

Ummm...What did you just say? You have no right to say one religion is bad and another is perfect. I've been a Satanist for over 10 years and I'm fairly sure in that time I haven't done anything that has hurt myself or those around me. And considering you're a Christian (a religion largely consisting of homophobic, sexist, hypocritical virgins) you have even lesser of a right to start talking shit about other people's faith's.

"Valid religion" is a paradox in itself. In order for something to be "valid" you must be able to test it's validity. You cannot test the validity of faith in this context because it's meant as "wholehearted belief in something while lacking in any evidence." Personally, I think religion is the worst scourge on this planet and should be totally eradicated in order for humanity to move forward as whole. However, the U.S. is a country founded on the freedom to worship whatever one chooses and that therefore trumps this argument in it's entirety.

I wouldn't say as much of a religion as much of a cult.. I think that it's just something that formed, and is not much of a religion other than a following.
