... Satanism... Satanists primarily do not worship Satan like the church and every one else would have you believe. They mostly do not even believe in him. In fact, they are mostly atheists who are in the study of humanism and philosophy of man. My question is this: Off of the information I just gave you, is it possible for a Christian to be a Satanist? Again, I need to know the facts and not your opinion or made up answers.

A Christian cannot be a Satanist. A Christian is a footstep follower of Jesus Christ and in the Bible, he condemns Satan. He is called the father of the lie, and the ruler of this world.
Also, the Book of Revelation tells us at Chapter 12 v 7
"And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el*+ and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail,* nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon+ was hurled, the original serpent,+ the one called Devil+ and Satan,+ who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;+ he was hurled down to the earth,+ and his angels were hurled down with him"
From this we can see that he is a real person and is the cause of the problems here on earth.
Satan is evil and promotes evil.
Hence one cannot call himself a Christian and claim to be a satanist.
The act of actually worshipping Satan as the actual deity in these satanic religions only existed for a small while. The original idea of Satanism is actually more along the lines of worshipping yourself. Pretty much like being an egotistical. The creed for the religion is Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Pretty much saying that you are following the law just by doing what you want and not thinking about anything else. So yes a Christian can be a Satanist. If a person says he is Christian, yet acts like an egotistical person, he is pretty much being a Satanist. That is the truth.
Satanism boasts a membership made up of people from respected professions of the world—doctors, lawyers, businessmen, policemen, nuns, priests, housewives, and military personnel. However, with dramatic results, new members have been recruited from high schools and college campuses around the world. Therefore, in many places today, teenage groups make up the majority of coven members.
REAMS have been written in newspapers, magazines, and books about the lurid deeds of satanic cults. Details of the widespread activity of violent satanic groups have been aired on national television and radio. It has become a major problem for police in both the small and the big cities in America, Canada, and Europe.
Satan worship is not limited to direct worship of Satan by name. The apostle Paul warned: “The things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:20) And demon worship is really the same as Satan worship, since Satan is called “the ruler of the demons.” (Mark 3:22)

No. A Christian would not want to have anything to do with Satan and his demons. Not even his name for any reason. The Devil exerts great influence over humans, but he does not control every human. He uses his deception to increase his influence, but with God's help Christians can successfully " oppose the Devil."
