devil worship
Praising the adversary
Devil worship refers to religious or ritual practices centered on venerating Satan or demonic entities, whether as literal belief or symbolic rebellion against conventional religion.
The term is often used loosely and pejoratively to describe any practices perceived as dark, occult, or anti-Christian, though actual Satanic religious movements vary widely in their beliefs and rarely involve worship in a traditional sense.
The town blamed devil worship for the vandalism, though it was just bored teenagers.
