There is actually, well at least until LeVey, no such thing as Satanism, a Satanic Church, etc.
The closest thing was the hellfire club, which was developed by aristocrats rebelling against the authority of the church. THEY invented the black mass, and THEY were the first to recite the lord's prayer backwards-really designed to shock the general church going public, rather than a serious worship of Satan.
