From a Jewish perspective the term “Satan worshipper” generates a syntax error. Satan, or “prosecutor” in Hebrew, is merely an angel in the heavenly court, with no status as an independent free-will entity, like all angels. The whole “Lucifer” “fallen-angel” mythos stems from a Latin mistranslation of a prophetic passage dealing with the fall of Babylonia to the Persians. Of course, if I tell this to some people, they accuse me of being a devil-worshiper of some kind myself! (I don’t know, if you give the devil such a great deal of power, maybe you’re the one worshiping him?)
Yes, you can’t speak out against this kind of idiocy without being labeled as an enemy yourself. Sometimes I wonder how humanity has survived itself even this long.
