I'm not a Satanist, but I know a little about the Church of Satan (LaVey's group).
The Satanic Bible teaches that all men (and women) are their own gods. Since you are a god, there can be no greater holiday than your own birthday! They also celebrate the various solstices and equinoxes (or, actually, holidays related to them). Hallowe'en (October 31) and Walpurgisnacht (April 30) are the two biggies here.
Satan does not exist per se. They believe in worshipping the flesh and its desires. Since the churches have always attacked them, and exist to keep power in the hands of priests, they worship the enemy of the church, Satan.
Yes, they have "churches" (there used to be one in San Francisco at one time, I assume it is still there).
Website of the official church below. Enjoy your quest!

1. Shiatain , Set, Chaos , Lucifer , satan the negative force opposing the Gods who create the postive aspects of humanity.
2.There is no good and evil but thinking makes it so
3/4.They are sometimes the church of satan as people have already satted is only concerned with the pleasures of the flesh Satan in respect of Le Vey' s system of belief is the human libido , Shaitan , Chaos and set are also followed and regarded as extremely powerful entities in magick , I believe some of the ritual relating to the Worship of set and shiatain would be considered evil in the eyes of Christianity but as I'm a Thelmite I won't attempt to explain this in any great detail as there is a chance i will misinterprut and i don't like to judge especially other forms of magick.
5.. halloween and i would imagine being of a pagan nature they would have 6 months between festivals not sure what the other is though .although equinoxes and solistices are very imoportant to followers of the other 3 mentioned
6..Generally people who follow this path are practioners of high magick ,many of these practioners are disillusioned unable to conquer the ego so they submit to its will , Even crowley the Great Beast states that those who follow this path will be lost to all eternity, if they can pass it they become ippissimus , being one with the God Head or creative force , as for the church of satan i think you just need to accept the libdo as god and your in no magickal practice required for that 1
7.Any spritual entity can be loved or worshipped and can return love they all do it in their own way but yes it is possible , in the church of satan i suppose that would entail loving yourself and thhe satisfaction and enjoyment you recieve in return would be the love shown ..
8.Yes there are churches / temples of all that i have mentioned , to my knowledge their are several temples dedicated to Set ,in Europe and America , the others are more predominatly confined to europe and Asia but definitely still active . la veys Church of satan opperates in the U.S in many sates i Believe
they conduct rituals /spells which i guess is a kind of prayer
if you want an open religion with a sexual orienattion I wouldn't really suggest any of the bodies I've mentioned but that's my personal opinion you may find the ideals of the OTO and other Thelmic orders very interesting , highly sexaul based magick and mediatation however they incorporate the other entities into a few rituals and have a stronger base and knowledge then any other order or group i have mentioned

ok, you have needless to say been listening to the Christians for slightly too long... Satanists do no longer worship the devil. in any respect. They worship devil, yet of their faith devil capacity capability, so in actuality the full Satanism element is approximately self empowerment. no longer worshipping the devil or attempting to strengthen the lifeless or sacrificing farm animals of any type. Satanism is an atheist faith (an oxymoron, i recognize), and as such Satanists don't have faith in God or the devil, so as that they might't be against him. See what i'm asserting?!?!

Satan is the worst enemy of both God and mankind he is called a man slayer in the Bible, because through lies he has deceived and is deceiving mankind, (Revelation12:9 he only cares about his will, and is deceiving mankind into worshipping him by the many religions he has inspired to ensure more people may miss out on the real life that God wants us to have

Most forms of Satanism do not believe in God or Satan. They use Satan simply as a symbol of rejecting the Thou Shall Nots of Christianity, of accepting personal moral responsibility instead of having a deity telling them what to do.

* Formerly known as Lucifer, First angel. Went against God and was cast down for it
* Yes, he work against Enternal life. That's how he hurts God. By getting as many of his childrens as possible away from salvation.
*I'm not sure. I think it has something to do with rebellion.
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Bible ( sorry, not that familiar with Satanic Traditions )

Okay enough about amish lady!!! The Devil is very real and Cares absolutley nothing about you. The Satanist movement is Proclaimed "Selfish" caring only about themselves. They believe you should do whatever you want even if it hurts people. They do Have "churches" and meet on regular times. The Devil cannot love anything but Himself.

ok well i cant answer al lyour questions but this is a start and its the facts, ok it all started with a angel named lucifer, he thought he was as mighty as God and he thought he could be God, there was a battle..lucifer and the bad angels vs. michael and the good angels...long story short, lucifer lost, and him and his angels were sent to hell, so lucifer is the devil himself, and all the other evil spirits are the other angels who fought against God

I'm at the Library. Hey my child, God Answers Prayers but only to those that are true to him. If you submit to the Power Companies and Join the Service to Kill People you will go to Hell. God will only Save the Christians that don't give into Society, The Evil Rock Music, the Computer, Electricity. Use only natural things of God, No Dishwashers, no Irons. etc. Only Amish will meet God. I pray for you
