The '''Church of Satan''' is a modern religious variation that has little to due with traditional satanism except for the title, as there is not actually a belief in [[satan]] himself. The founder is [[Anton Szandor LaVey]], as outlined in The Satanic Bible and other works. "Satan" is taken as a positive symbol of this [[world view]], an [[archetype]] or the ultimate symbol of the self and egotism. LaVey explains in an interview with The Washington Post magazine: "Satan is just a symbol, nothing more.... Satan signifies our love of the worldly and our rejection of the pallid, ineffectual image of Christ on the cross."
