They promote embracing personal desires, questioning traditional morals, and rejecting dogma, all within a framework of rational self-interest. The statements encourage followers to seek knowledge, oppose hypocrisy and oppression, and live authentically. Rather than worshiping an actual deity, they use Satan as a symbol of personal freedom and enlightenment.
