Once I started looking online I was convinced. I would say 80% of Satanists are white and 80% of that are men. I have a theory.
African Americans tended to be former slaves or related too former slaves. Slave owners were notoriously religious and seems like something Ol' Whitey would do is push the fear of good into those slaves. Skipping through a handful of generations you still have the religious infections in the African Americans also paired up now with social and economical repression. Sure most people were religiously repressed a few hundred years ago but the Black population likely got the worst of it.
So, in short my theory is cultural, climate and lack of education.
The reason I think we see far to few female Satanists I believe has to do with the archetype. Satan is all that is masculine and manly. Maybe to much testosterone going on. Although with the emergence of the south park gay Satan maybe we will see some more women. Joking. But I see more women gravitating towards Wicca and Pagan branches that are more earthy with more mystical elements or a Goddess. In short more feminine appeal.
Your thoughts?
