According to Judaism, worshiping anything other than God is an act of idolatry and is strictly forbidden. This is one of the commands that applies to people of all religions.
No.
yes. Yes because they are evil and can possess us, and they are all for Satanism.
Many practices have been called evil. President Reagan referred to the USSR as an evil empire, which would have made communism an evil practice. Christians believe that Satanism is an evil practice. There are hundreds of other examples.
no satanism is a religion much like Christianity but unlike most religions there has been evidence of satanism as far back as 4000 bc!! some satanist's insist there is no god and that there is only Satan but that he is not evil. But back to your question yes satanism is a subculture :)
It can mean a few things. In most christian fanatics, it means evil evil people who sacrifice animals, that is not completely true. There are normally two general sides to Satanism. There is the left hand path, or Anton LeVay Satanism, which are Atheists who believe in Satan as a philosophical ideal, that he is not in fact a supernatural being. Then there is the Right hand path, known as "Theistic Satanism" or "Traditional Satanism" these are the Satanists that believe in Satan as a deity. Normally the Right hand path is what the media sees as the crazy cultists who kill in the name of Satan, they do not infact. Sure, there are individuals out there who do crazy things for satan. But that is not what Theistic Satanism is based around. Both paths may follow the belief in Wicca and other Magic.
LaVeyan Satanism (the original) does not.
What does this have to do with Satanism? Satanism isn't about "darkness" or "evil." True Satanism is about opening the soul, and reaching Godhead. Satan, his real name being Enki, is a peace loving God who has been lied about for a very very long time. It's time people start learning about his true identity. Go to these sites and fill your brain with knowledge:

Most put it under satanism, or witchcraft. But it's not bad at all. If they were to look into it they might actually understand that most wiccans are good, not evil.
There are many different religious cultures in the US.A few could be:ChristianProtestantCatholicJewishIslamicMuslimPaganism (no, this is NOT the same as Satanism)Wicca (no, this is NOT the same as Satanism)Satanism
There are no "sacred texts" of Satanism; all works and books on Satanism and fairly cheap to purchase on most web-shops.
