Depends how you define satanism.

If you define satanism as materialism, as the Church of Satan actually do, then it definitely is.

the church of satan and the satanic temple are not big on materialism....perhaps do some research

I think you are misinterpreting the word "materialism".

It's not the same as materialistic.

And neither apply to modern day satanism.

Satanism has more in common with buddism, and stoicism than anything

money is the root of evil. wherever you find evil, you will find money.

in the following video, if you were to look into the shadows of this scene you would see some very comfortably rich and evil people.

Nah, it's "the love of money is the root of all evil."

Money is just a tool, it's neutral. It's what humans do with it which is bad.

That is a common response.

Again, I say that where you find evil you will find large amounts of money.
