ASSIGNMENT 10- 20 SEPTEMBER 2019




Stark’s ten factors and The Church of
Satan
1. It retains cultural continuity with the conventional faiths of the societies within
which it seeks converts.

The Church of Satan and Satanism is attracting more of the youth population in today’s
day and age ever before. Satanism embodies all that the youth are seeking, freedom,
making your own decisions and living your best life. As mentioned by Huck “In a time of
chaos and uncertainty, when traditional belief systems no longer seem to have all the
answers, more and more young people are finding comfort in Satanism. But these aren’t
devil worshippers who drink blood or sacrifice animals. They’re just regular people trying
to squeeze the most out of life.” https://www.huckmag.com/art-and-culture/new-

popular with the current generation, however they openly support gender equality,
LGBTQ+ and accept all races. All these aspects are what the current generation

beliefs and values. That being the reason why The Church of Satan and Satanism is

positive manner.

2. Its doctrines are non-empirical.

This factor does not apply to the Church of Satan. The Church of Satan supports since
and invites scepticism and criticism when it comes to their doctrine and teachings. “As
The Satanic Bible states about empirical truth versus fantasy, "Each is necessary for the
other to exist, but each must be recognized for what it is."

3. It maintains a medium level of tension with its surrounding environment – it is
strict, but not too strict.

Members of the Church of Satan live under a very relaxed level of tension with its
surrounding environment. Satanism is a lifestyle to Satanist, they believe in tacking
responsibility, free will and seeking happiness in your life. These are the fundamental
principals of Satanism. Satanists follow the Nine Satanic Statements. The Satanic
Statements emphasise vital existence, undefiled wisdom, kindness to those who deserve
