Is Satanism a Pagan religion?

I'm not talking about LaVayen Satanism, I'm talking about where someone actually worships Satan.Now, I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in any of this, but I'm just curious to know considering that the Satanist logo is the pentagram, which oddly enough is the same logo that Wicca has as well, and Wicca is a Pagan religion.

Paganism has its own defined worship and culture. Satan is Christian invention / symbol and nothing to do with any other religion so the story and the whole idea of it is from a christian stand point. Nothing at all to do with any other religion.

Paganism is pretty much any religion other than Christianity per definition, but it gets warped around from person to person, what it is is pretty much whatever you want it to be, all definitions and labels are self made

Well...you can't accept or worship satan..if you don't accept god as a player in this context..otherwise satan can't exist..evil can't stand alone.

Neither can good alone, as there is no negativity to compare to in relation. So, before the advent of 'evil' according to people who claim that the world is all good before something is introduced must only be neutral and since you already have a very high neutral; everything must be horrible in comparison.

Well ...then it comes down to faith....neither side has a stronghold...humans are just that..human....

True satanism requires a belief in the biblical god, at least by extension, right? So how can it be paganism?

Religions are generally related so it wouldn't surprise me if those things got intermixed

Pentagram also has to do with worship of Venus and the morning star.
