Who Serves Satan? A Demographic and Ideological Profile

WEBSITES
Although they seem to be phasing out this aspect of their service,
in the past Yahoo included structured guides to certain topics.
If this service is still in place, typing “Satanism” into http://www.yahoo.com
gives one a useful starting place. Alternately, type “Satanism”
into the Oingo site at: http://www.oingo.com. The internet has been
influential in reaching individuals potentially interested in religious
Satanism. Many otherwise isolated Satanists find a community of
like-minded fellow religionists in cyberspace. Because of the unique
characteristics of the electronic medium, it is often difficult
to distinguish substantial Satanist organizations from individual
persons with a talent for creating extensive, professional websites.
The oldest groups are the Church of Satan and the Temple of Set
(though it should be stressed that the Temple of Set no longer identifies
itself as Satanic). The precise status and extent of other groups
are more difficult to determine.
