Strength creates adversity.
If society is uniform and most people are spiritual push-overs, then it is simply a matter of following the herd to be safe.
Anything that gives an individual an advantage, for instance powers that might make them start to seem like gods, elevate them above a weak majority.
Those who pose a threat and stand out are the enemy. Anyone with bizarre beliefs and abilities in the realm of the esoteric are deemed targets.
My advice would be to stay away from satanism, however. It is not a religion as much as a means to an end.
An individual who is enlightened, disciplined, knowledgeable, wise, and strong and who is working for the betterment of humanity, gives compassion, is patient, and works to protect, teach, and heal others is far better off than a puppet or parrot.
