WHAT DOES DIABOLIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

diabolist

Satanism

Satanism is a religion shared by a larger size or smaller group of self-proclaimed Satanists. The groups have different beliefs which strongly contradict each other, but basically self-development as a common goal. It was estimated that there were 50,000 Satanists in 1990. There may be as many as one hundred thousand in the world. Satan in Paradise Lost, as illustrated by Gustave Doré Particularly after the European Enlightenment, some works, such as Paradise Lost, were taken up by Romantics and described as presenting the biblical Satan as an allegory representing a crisis of faith, individualism, free will, wisdom and enlightenment. Those works actually featuring Satan as a heroic character are fewer in number, but do exist; George Bernard Shaw, and Mark Twain included such characterizations in their works long before religious Satanists took up the pen. From then on, Satan and Satanism started to gain a new meaning outside of Christianity. Eliphas Lévi's Sabbatic goat has become one of the most common symbols of Satanism.
