Satanic Bible
Infernal religious text
The Satanic Bible is a 1969 book by Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan.
It outlines LaVeyan Satanism, which treats Satan as a symbol of individualism and carnality rather than a literal deity.
The book rejects conventional religion in favor of self-interest and personal empowerment: He kept a copy of the Satanic Bible on his nightstand.
Despite its provocative title, the philosophy is atheistic.
