Satan doesn't exist, but that doesn't mean that a bunch of people who rally around that fictional character to undermine the foundations of Western civilisation and advance causes like grooming and abortion aren't a problem.
It's about the idea of worshiping one's own sense of pleasure, basically. Promoting the things that damn your soul, which all have something in common in bringing us closer to animals.
I disagree with you regarding Satan's existence, but otherwise you're absolutely right.
Let's suppose that Satan is merely the personification of that which Western civilization finds morally detestable. It is still alarming that growing numbers of people are rallying around that figure. This is different from an edgy teenager saying "Hail Satan," or a band searching for a gimic. The Satanic Temple is an influential group that is devoted to pushing social and political change against broad traditional Christian values.

Satan definitely exists, and you cited the exact reasons as to why he's involved with these degenerates (though they dont know it).
