Luciferians.

Except their Lucifer is not exactly the same as the Satan of most American Protestant Christians.

Arguably sort of similar to how Muslims have a different version of Jesus, or how Protestants and Catholics have a different version of Mary.

... But American Protestant Christians are on net, very stupid, intolerant and incurious, and also highly fractious, and have a million different versions of what they all claim to be the same exact beliefs... so... close enough, I guess.

Satanists != Luciferians.

    Yes and no. Luciferians do not believe in a literal Lucifer as either a deific, angelic, or demonic being. It's not a religion at all. It is a philosophy that honors and celebrates the ideals and characteristics that are attributed to Lucifer, as a literary/cultural figure. There is no worship associated with it. They just think that Lucifer, as the rebel of God's tyranny, as the light bringer to humanity, is pretty based. Also, while some conflate the two, plenty treat Lucifer, the light bringer, and Satan, the deceiver, as separate entities and do not venerate the latter.
