Satanism starts with atheism. We start with the universe and say, "It doesn't matter. There is no God, there is no Devil. Nobody cares!" So you have to make a decision that places you at the center of your own subjective universe, because of course we cannot have any kind of objective contact with everything that exists. This is very arrogant and delusional, people who try to put it that way. So, by making the primary value in your life, you are your own God. As your own God, you feel comfortable making your own decisions about what you should value. What's positive for you is good. What hurts you is evil. You extend it to the things you appreciate and the people you appreciate. So it's very easy to see that it's a self-centered philosophy.
But it also requires responsibility, as you are taking complete responsibility for your personal success or failure yourself. You can't be praying to a God or blaming a devil, or anyone else, for that matter, for what happens to you. It's in your own head. That's a challenge for most people. Most people tend to really feel that they want some kind of outside support, that they are looking outside and that they might want some kind of supernatural father figure, or even some kind of existing governmental authority, to exist in their lives.
