While I might agree that these labels have groups that fulfill my 'cult checklist', calling them 'satanism' is just Church indoctrination.

They use all the symbolism. They deserve the name if it fits.

"The symbolism" aka anything not Church sanctioned.

You don't get it. You think satanism is a banal thing and that only religious nuts don't see it. YOU have been indoctrinated without knowing it. Invisible indoctrination is much more powerful than the visible one in churches.
I'm not religious but if I were, I would say something like "I will pray for your soul."

You make a lot of assumptions about me, the Church, and why I object to the categorization of all those labels under 'satanism' buddy.
But if you insist: How is the Church not 'invisibly indoctrinating' their followers since the early Church fathers with lies about the teachings of the prophet Jesus in such a fashion that even luciferianism comes closer when it comes to the inner journey, self liberation, not worshiping but having a guide, and truth seeking?
Or how about hermeticism, what's wrong with that all of a sudden?
Though maybe you can start by enlightening me what you mean with satanism in the first place and how I'm, according to you, indoctrinated by it.

The Church is guilty of very VISIBLE indoctrination. Not invisible. I mean, the freaking priest tells you basically "do as I say or you will go to hell, believe what I say or you will go to hell" and so on. It's pretty visible.
Nothing's wrong with hermeticism, where did I write that?

Can you explain what Invisible indoctrination is according to you? You present an example of a blatant lie (just read the bible), I presented the corruption nof the Church you can't uncover when you read the bible.
If you read the comments to which I replied in the first place you can read what is lumped under satanism and that's what started my replies, that's what set you off accusing me. Talking of which you've yet to explain any of it:
