Most Satanists argue they do not worship Satan. They do not even believe that Satan exists. They are worshippers of themselves. These are the ones that belong to the Church of Satan. However, these are those that do not understand the irony and are being kept from the inner circle. Anton Levey claimed to have come out of an abusive "christian" home. The whole Church of Satan was created as a deliberate establishment to mock Christianity and antogonize the church.

It was also set up to keep the christians focussed on the Church of Satan rather than the inner order groups. Very few These innergroups do worship Satan and belong to the offshoot called Temple of Set and the Order of Saturnis. So no matter the argument they worship Satan whether they believe he exists or not. Its the same old lie at the garden of Eden by Satan himself "Ye shall be as gods". Those that do love darkness rather than the light.
And have of course Freemasonry was involved in these cults as they do worship Lucifer.
Satan who is every man woman or child who loves the things of man and is not mindful of the things of God. Will make up all kinds of views and opinions of who or what satan is and I will guarantee you that none of it will point to them. But the teaching of God is clear to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. The dragon, beast, satan, devil, serpent of old, is now only man.
Matthew 16
23 But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.
Mark 8
33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."
Revelation 12
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his mesengers were cast out with him.
Revelation 20
2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
Isaiah 14
12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
13
For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'
15
Yet you shall be brought down to the grave, To the lowest depths of the Pit.
16 "Those who see you will gaze at you, And consider you, saying: '
Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,
18 "You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
