I don't believe in Satan I was just being silly for the record, but there's different forms of Satanism.
Anton Lavey Satanist for instance don't really believe in Satan necessarily, they just basically call themselves Satanist as a rejection of Christianity and all it's ideals. They believe you should do whatever you want, whenever you want within reason...as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.
People that truly believe in Satan have a different way of looking at it, but they would basically see Jesus as the evil one who keeps people enslaved with lies and weakness..."Bow to me or burn forever" ya know...seems to encourage weakness.
I am neither, but I have looked into it a bit as I've always found religious beliefs fascinating, even the seemingly crazy ones.
I am an atheist though.
