Anton Szandor LaVey was born April 11, 1930 and was the founder and High Priest of Church Of Satan.
On April the 30 1966 LaVey proclaimed the opening of Church of Satan.
LaVey pointed out that "calling it a Church enabled me to follow the magic formula of one part outrage to nine parts social respectability that is needed for success. But the main purpose was to gather a group of like-minded individuals together for the use of their combined energies in calling up the dark force in nature that is called Satan. Of course LaVey pointed out to anyone who would listen that the Devil to him and his followers was not the stereotyped fellow cloaked in red garb, with horns and a tail, holding a pitchfork ready to nail sinful humans who are following their true instincts.
On 29 October 1997, Dr. Anton Szandor LaVey died of a heart attack. He was 67 years old.
His daughters Karla and Zeena, and his son Xerxes. Following his cremation, Karla LaVey was appointed as High Priestess of the Church of Satan.

Founder of the Church of Satan, which oddly enough dosen't really worship satan, but humans as master of their own souls. While I do not agree with his ideals, his religion challenged the Christian establishment and helped pave the way for minority religions to gain protected status under the Constitution.
