If you demonize Satanists, do they appreciate it?
So the Communists come out to endorse the democrats running and Satanists come out to endorse Planned Parenthood.
Fun day of endorsements, huh?
If you don't agree with my belief you're wrong?
Have you ever actually read up on legitimate Satanism?

She's most likely referring to Atheistic Satanism, which is likely the type of Satanists that came out to support PP. They do tend to be the group that likes to troll overly judgmental and hypocritical Christians after all. For instance, it was the atheist Satanists that tried to get the statue of Baphomet put up next to the Ten Commandments in OK.
Though I'm sure Christians like pretending that they are the evil Satanists that support their fictional bogeyman. Because it TOTALLY makes sense to believe in Christianity then worship the wrong side.

You don't have to point that out to me. I know that Satanism isn't just one coin. It's the Christians who like to pigeon hole Satanist beliefs. Though I kind of like Satanism myself. I'm not one, but their antics are amusing when they expose hypocritical Christians.
There are seven fundamental tenets.
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.
Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word

That's the thing, they actually DON'T believe in Satan. They are atheists. It's likely they just took that name to antagonize Christians. Though they may tell you for other reasons. I can't know for sure though.
