Editing Satanism (section)

===Related terms===
Because the original concept of Satan came from Judaism and was embraced by Christianity, and because Satanists, almost by definition, oppose the teachings of those religions, people drawn to Satanism will often move on to "post-Satanism", i.e. to a religion that does not declare itself "Satanic", but includes elements of Satanism (e.g. [[Temple of Set]]). Others may regards themselves as Satanists but promote mythological figures and traditions outside of Christianity or Judaism.<ref name="Granholm-2012">{{cite book |last1=Granholm |first1=Kennet |editor1-last=Petersen |editor1-first=Jesper Aa. |editor2-last=Faxneld |editor2-first=Per |title=The Devil's Party: Satanism in Modernity |date=November 2012 |publisher=Oxford University Press |pages=209–228 |url=https://academic.oup.com/book/11601/chapter-abstract/160464629?redirectedFrom=fulltext |access-date=6 January 2024 |chapter=10.

Diane E. Taub and Lawrence D. Nelson complain that Satanism "is frequently defined either too broadly or too narrowly", with accusers sometimes including non-satanic groups such as [[Santeria]], [[Witchcraft]], Eastern religions as well as [[Freemasonry]]; and academics (for example Carlson and Larue){{sfn|Carlson|Larue|1989|p=11}} and others sometimes restricting its definition to "recognized Satanic churches and their members", excluding those who "believes in a literal Satan". Taub and Nelson define Satanism as "the literal or symbolic worship of Satan, the enemy of the Judeo-Christian God".{{sfn|Taub|Nelson|1993|p=525}}
