People who believe in or worship Satan, or who practice Satanism as a religion or philosophical system.
From 'Satan' (from Hebrew 'śāṭān,' adversary) + '-ist' (one who practices or believes in). The term entered modern use in the 1800s as various Satanist philosophical movements emerged.
Modern Satanism is often misunderstood—many Satanists don't literally believe in a personal Satan but use the figure symbolically to represent rebellion against oppression, reason over dogma, or individual freedom. It's more about philosophy than supernatural evil.
