Which is just another term for Luciferianism? And shows he is getting increasingly Bolder?
Teaching that we Do have a powerful spirit within us?
But there is no God or Devil? Therefore, no reward or
punishment?
So do "As You Will"?

Satanism does not worship the christian satan. Satan in satanism is a representation of self-gratification.

The Adversary, Satan, deceives people all the time because he hooks the sinful desires that are already there (James 1:14-16). Satanism is the worship of Satan not the deception by Satan.
Lucifer was Satan's name when he was an obedient angel, it is now Satan because his name (nature) changed. Satan gets drunk with his own power, so much so that he is delusional.
He can only do what God allows him to do (Job 1) and God will use even that for the good of the believer (Romans 8:28-39).
There is no proof that there is no God or no Devil so that claim cannot be made with certainty.
Do as you will? What does that mean? Does it mean that since there is no God or no Devil one can do whatever?
I wouldn't take that bet....you have a 50-50 shot but betting that God is not there would not be a good risk in any case.

Nonsense, If there were an "Adversary" and it was trying to deceive us wouldn't it have better luck and a deeper deception if instead of calling his "church" Satanism it called it something like, oh, say, christianity? Think about that.

Certainly the bold approach is one of Satan's tactics, but the more pervasive strategy is still the subtle one. He uses half-truths, self-serving philosophies and carnal enticements to woo us into a sense of false security with our lives and thus draw us away from God and the teachings of service to our fellow beings. Selfishness and self serving atitudes toward life build pride and a loss of humility toward God. We become humanistic, relying on our own devises instead of petitioning God for His assistance in life. All of these concepts, and more, are employed by Lucifer to draw us away from God. We need to be aware of his subtle devises even more than his overt ones.

Well, if it was clearly named, it wouldn't be very deceitful, would it? I don't think Satan is trying to convince us that we can take on God and beat Him. I think he's more concerned about getting us to not even believe that He exists, therefore we can do whatever we want.
