If you really knew your history, then you would have traced them back to the Babylonian Brotherhood of the Snake, they splintered later into many groups, They do worship Satan the serpent from the garden of Eden, so yes this makes them Satanists. They loved him for knowledge, forgetting his BS is what caused them to be cast out of the Garden of Eden. And they had to die. They forget all that crap while they hated God. It is a war between Good and Evil, always has been and always will be. But then you may know this already.
