Mispelling of the word 'Shaitan'(Shaytan) from the Arabic for adversary. Also the Islamic version of Satan.
Was once know as Lucifer, ''The light of heaven'', in Christian dogma.
''He soon discerns, and weltring by his side
One next himself in power, and next in crime,
Long after known in Palestine, and nam'd
Beelzebub. To whom th' Arch-Enemy,
And thence in Heav'n call'd Satan, with bold words
Breaking the horrid silence thus began.''
-Paradise Lost, Book 1, line 79.

A mythical being invented by religious extremists to scare uneducated louts into fattening their pockets.
Because he feared a being that did not exist, the Klansman gave money to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.

Jewish perversion of Pagan deities like Dagda (gaelic), Dionysos (greek), Shiva (hindu) and Enki (sumerian). Used as scapegoat and distraction for all the problems that the anti-life dogmas of Christianity/Islam cause. Even today stupid Americans believe, that he rules their government.
He is really the Lord of Water, Music and Knowledge/Enlightenment and nowhere near beeing evil or a threat to humanity.

There are many brands of Satanism, I'll outline 2 of these:
First, there is LaVey (I think) Satanism. This promotes worship of one's self, practicing indulgence in the 7 "deadly" sins, and other such things. This is pretty much just a step up from Atheism where instead of the high range of morals that Atheists have, you get "lower" morals. (An Atheist can still believe in what the Cristian Church preaches in terms of morals. i.e. monogamy, abstinence before marriage, etc. while not believing in God. LaVey Satanists can't have similar morals to the Church.) This practice has nothing to do at all with Lucifer, or any of his followers. These are not bad people, freaks, or any of the other labels they've been given on this site.
Another type of Satanist is the Lucifarian (SP?) Satanists, who worship Lucifer (Satan, The Devil, The Fallen Angel, The Morning Star) as their idol. These people worship Lucifer because he is the bringer of forbidden light, he wanted humanity to have the knowledge that God and his angels do. I think they believe in a sort of "unholy trinity" consisting of Lucifer, Beelzebub, and Astaroth(SP?), though I'm not sure about that last point.
Note: Neither type of Satanism are bad people, they believe what they believe, discriminating against them is just as bad as discriminating against Muslims, Jews, or any other religion. Also, Satanist being anti-Cristian is of no importance, as all monotheist religions are anti-other religions.
P.S. I'm atheist, so this is fairly objective =D
