Satanism has nothing to do with worshipping the Devil, Satan, or any other higher force. In Satanism there are no Gods, you are your own "God".

Satan in satanism isn't the same as in worship of the devil. In satanism, Satan is pre-Christian, and comes from the Pagan image of power, sexuality, sensuality, and virility. To most satanists, Satan is a force of nature, NOT a god. It has nothing to do with Hell and evil, unlike the Satan that is worshiped. Devil worshipers build their beliefs on the Christian beliefs, because they worship the EVIL Satan, the ruler of Hell, the devil in the Bible. To Satanists there is no God, no Heaven, no Devil and no Hell. The only god there is, is themselves, and if they DO believe in another god, it's one of their own personal creations.
