I think people hear the words 'transcendental meditation' and 'paganism,' and that's almost worse because it's real. Those are real things. Those are absolute energies. Satanism is like Halloween. Transcendental meditation and having a realization of how we really are - whether we want to be or not - we live in a pagan culture.

Be aware that talking about satanism can offend some people due to its association with evil in many religions.

Religious Sensitivity

Understand that satanism is often misunderstood and not always related to criminal or unethical behavior.

Misconceptions

Realize that satanism is a rare topic in daily conversation and can shock or surprise others if brought up unexpectedly.

Not Commonplace

Satanism may represent a metaphor for autonomy and challenging authority, rather than literal belief in Satan.

Cultural Representation

It's important to understand that in some circles, satanism is viewed as a philosophy rather than a religion.

Philosophical Interpretation

Not all forms of satanism involve the worship of a deity; some are atheistic and see Satan as a symbol.
