Without any biased answers, in these modern days, are they any religions out that actually believe in following evil? I mean some Christians will say that Islam is evil yet on the other side Muslims will say the same thing about Christians. But both religions both believe in serving the "light" even though they may be perceived as evil by other religions. Even Satanism these days is different. The Church of Satan which is actually more towards Atheism since they don't believe in a God or Satan, is more towards serving the light. I mean their rules tell you to abide by the law and not to harm children. What religion in modern times is actually about total chaos or anarchy?

None that i know of: either the old satanism or there are probably some cults you can find. But no mainstream ones. Why are you looking? Cos I think that would be pretty cool.

Religion of Evil? Depends on which side of the argument you are on, as you stated of the Christians and Muslims. No, I do not think the there really is a TRUE religion of evil, unless it is a cult that harms others in their worship. The Satanists? I think that many might argue that they promote evil, but since I don't think that Satan is truly real (at least the Christian concept) I believe that it might have started that way, then those with some sense, turned it around. Still, since I know nothing about that I will not judge them. I think Hollywood, fundamentalists, extremists, and the media area have already judged and condemned many on their own without foreknowledge, don't you?

I don't think there really is one. There are cults that partake in human and animal sacrifices and other stuff but they are still branches of other religions that have been taken way too far. Besides "truly evil men do not think of themselves as evil."(quote i heard somewhere forget who said it but it's very true.) Even religions that partake in sacrifice and law breaking, etc. will still see themselves as working for "the greater good" while those outside will think them evil or insane. What is considered evil will always be biased as the idea changes from person to person. There may be a couple religions that are widely accepted as believing in "total chaos and anarchy" but if you were to be raised in that religion I highly doubt you would view it as "evil". And even if you did the sentiment would not be shared by everyone within the religion itself. Like I said, they would think of themselves as working for the greater good. So when it comes to evil(or even good for that matter) there is no such thing as an unbiased opinion.

I think that you may be a little confused about the word religion.
A religion is any thing that one puts faith into. We all have faith, it is just in different things. So to have religion is not necessarily to have a belief in any deity.
But to think of a religion that is for chaos and anarchy, the closest one I can think of are all these folks who listen to Marylin Manson and all the copycat groups like Slipknot and whatever, I think you know the ones I mean.
These bands propone a certain ideology.
And that ideology could have faith put in it by the listeners, who in turn live by that ideology.
So that would make it a religion for the listeners follow the teachings of the proponent.
Get it?

"What religion in modern times is actually about total chaos or anarchy?"
Chaos is the absence of order. Anarchy is the absence of hierarchy. They are two different, unrelated, things.
I am a Christian anarchist. I can't see why anarchy would be evil. Hierarchy, and its consequences, rule and war, are evil.

all major religions are peaceful and beautiful its people that ruin them.
some cults are evil. they re based on hurting people and the leaders of these cults either getting rich or being able to have power (and control) over others.

I think it is the ones that hide the fact that they are bigots and full of hate we most have to worry about.
Any religious nut scares me more then all the Satanists combined.
Edit: Hedonism...the religion of dirty talk. hahahhaha That was funny.

No RELIGION is evil. Only some of its followers.
