Satanism
There are two main types of Satanism: theistic Satanism (the worship of Satan as a deity) and LaVeyan Satanism (an atheistic, anti-religious movement). This category is for questions about either type.

Where are there satanic churches in Al?
I think what your looking for are local occults and those arent hard to find all you really have to do is ask around school or a store or some thing and make friends easily done even in a small town usually satanist are the ones you least suspect so ask people you never even thought of asking and dont be afraid to ask a older person like a grand mason a master mason or some thing theyll know were to send you also if you email me or some thing some time or give me your email would be better i would be more then happy to help you track it down on the net and find you some where you belong.
No holidays worship Satan. Some people may worship Satan on particular days. For LaVeyan Satanists, the most important holiday is their birthdays. Another day some people celebrate as a Satanic holiday is Walpurgisnacht.
How is the pentragram linked to the devil?
There is alot of debate about the pentagram and its "true meaning", however generally speaking the accepted idea is that the pentagram turned upside down symbolises a goats head. Which is associated with Satan. Its very hard to explain the symbolisation, so perhaps a google image search for "Baphomet" will be in order, to get a visual on this idea.
Another relatively popular idea is that the pentagram (turned up-right) represents man (or universal man) and that the upside down pentagram (associated with Satanism) is turning this man on is head, gesturing in a way, Satans dislike for man.
A theory popular with some Satanists is that the main point (whilst doing energy work) is the direction the energy goes in. Being that most Satanist's are very much for a "greener earth" they want to see the energy go into the earth. A quote from one website reads:
Fools do not know what they are doing.
Energy is being sent up.
It should go into the earth to replenish her.
The overuse of the point-up pentagram
is throwing the energies into space,
causing a number of problems,
and draining the earth
of her ability to defend herself
against these problems.
Its worth noting that alot of other religious groups (such as wiccans) use pentagrams, though they claim no affiliation with Satanism. Some groups will even take offence if they were to be in any way linked with Satanism, especially if the sole reason was because of their use of a pentagram.

Satanism is a sin against which commandment?
The question as written has the answer one. The first commandment.
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Any other gods including Satan, Isis, Zeus, or money would be included in this commandment.
For an in depth discussion of this question, please see the discussion page. It has fascinating points from a Christian and a Satanist viewpoint.
Are the members of the band disturbed religious?
In the song avarice, Dariman refers to the Hebrew word for god, Elochai. This may imply that David Draiman is Jewish. He's also born into a Jewish family. However, his piercings, tattoos, and very un-jewish lyrics, imply that he may be atheistic. This makes it likely that the other band members are also atheistic.
No he is not. That band Cradle of Filth have had satanic writings in there lyrics(Which Dani writes) and the band have in the past used satanic imagery but aren't satanists. There older lyrics would express small parts of satanism but this does not make the band, or Dani satanists. Dani Filth calls himself a Luciferian rather then a satanist
