Humanism is an attitude or philosophy that prioritizes human growth and flourishing by placing man at the center of existence. In general, the humanist perspective is based on two principles:
A) Man is the axis of existence, and physical pleasures are considered the ultimate goal of human activities.
B) The origin of knowledge is man; to achieve happiness, individuals must rely solely on their inner talents and do not need external teachings, such as revelation.
In this worldview, man is positioned at the center of existence instead of Almighty Allah, with human abilities deemed sufficient to guide and dominate nature. The abandonment of Allah and the focus on man and his desires will only be possible through the adoption of artificial human rituals; Satanism is proposed as one of the possible options for achieving this goal.
3. Secularism
Secularism refers to the non-interference of religion in various aspects of human social life and is one of the characteristics of Western civilization and culture. Followers of this perspective believe that the influence of religion is limited to the personal and private spheres of human life. The secular West, by distancing itself from religious teachings, has facilitated a turn towards intellectual and sectarian deviations, including Satanism. An examination of the principles of secularism can support this claim, so we will briefly reference its foundations.
A) Empirical Scientism:
Secular thought posits that societal affairs can be managed based on empirical science. The foundation of this thinking is a form of materialism that limits the realm of existence to material phenomena, dismissing knowledge of the world beyond the material.
B) Rationalism:
In the context of secularism, all human behavior is defined as arising from reason—reason that does not rely on religious principles. One of the most significant factors in the formation of rationalism is the distorted teachings of Christianity. The slogan of pure rationalism and scientism, which emerged as a reaction to the misbehavior of church authorities, further fueled the spread of deviant Western ideas and created a basis for the acceptance of sects and deviant groups that fulfill carnal desires while turning away from religious values. Undoubtedly, Satanism served as one of the most effective means of confronting religious doctrines, allowing its founders and supporters to pursue their sensual desires under its aegis and leading the masses to drift away from religious ideals and teachings.
