There are a lot of commentators who describe the church of Satan as quirky people who are just atheists who really believe in nothing, and they call themselves the church of Satan simply to 'troll' Christians and people of faith, but they don't really do anything 'evil'- like kill anybody or drink blood, or anything like that. They say that this might have happened in the past, but it doesn't any happen any longer. But the people who unfortunately get sucked into what appears to be a harmless new age feel good pagan religion that talks about trolls, wizards and elves and dance around a fire naked at 3 a.m. sometimes wind up being forced to take part in increasingly horrific acts and Satanic rituals.
