There are no "different kinds of Satanism". As you say, there are Satanists, and then there are people into some kind of theistic religion, typically an inversion of Christianity. Yes and I thought that was pretty clear by now as it has been repeated countless times on here. Although I'm sure Verszou understands that and it was just a poor choice of words on his part. And yes I'd rather they oppose Satanism for what it actually is instead of perpetuating lies.

Oh, I saw that website just a few days ago. I thought it was hilarious how they had chums from the other religions looking relatively normal, but had "Sid" done up in the faux-hawk, fingerless gloves, piercings, the whole "thug" getup, because that's totally how all Satanists dress, right? Right?!  And wait a sec...the scientific theory of Evolution is a religion now? And what the Hell is a "Typical"? Wacky, wacky Christians.

It was, sorry about that. What I should have said was something to the effect that there are different groups who label themselves Satanists. Using the name of course does not make them Satanists. Thank you for helping to clear this up.

Yes, I have seen a few Christian zealots who did their homework and got it right. Even Kirk Cameron's TV show interviewed a priest from the COS and didn't attempt to distort what real Satanism was all about.
Well, let's not give them too much credit  . They still tried to cast aspersions on his sincerity by splicing his comments with footage of 9/11 and Marilyn Manson tearing up Bibles. But, yes, at least they knew that going the usual route wasn't going to fly. (I guess that's a small miracle, at least.) That the evangelicals can still successfully argue that Satanists are hedonists, elitists, egoists, fascists, and sexual libertines actually provides them with some incentive to colour inside of the lines, truth-wise. Everybody wins!

Since there are some horror film fans here, I'm sure many of you are familiar with the movie Jesus Camp....scariest film ever. This site reminds of the part where the psycho leader lady, Becky Fisher, was telling families about handbooks they have to help children preach and evangelize.
And they think we're scary. And you didn't even see the directors cut, where she takes a flamethrower to the crowd and laughs maniacally, ranting about how "I'm sendin' you all to hell EARLY this year, kiddies!" But yeah, that was kind of a messed up movie.

I posted a review of the movie on Amazon which say, almost word for word "A good film that shows how far people take a fairytale." Someone said it was the worst review ever and accused me of not even seeing the movie.

I'm looking through some other stuff on that website, and I'm finding it great entertainment.  They've got a whole series of "How to Share Your Faith Using [insert any movie, news event, or pop-culture item under the Sun]." It's amusing how well they can perform logical gymnastics to connect Christianity with Lady in the Water, The Simpsons, and Steve Irwin.
