Its redundant on purpose. Most people wouldnt join satanists but would not think twice about jesuits etc. Low level people are led around by their noses.
Perhaps it is mostly superficial. What would you call this "proto-Gnosticism"? Because saying "Gnostic" makes it sound like it originated with Greeks and Christians.
Paganism. Satanism is paganism evoked.
Well, Paganism is a broad spectrum and would include a variety of ideas from basic animism, to shamanism, and so on. I would prefer something that specifically addresses the esoteric paradigm that is found in Kabbalah and gnostic cults/ sects.
What would you say is the anti-thesis, which Christian sect or interpretation is the correct one, in your view?
