As of today I would judge that only a small percentage of Christians
believe that such things as Satanic cults exist (meaning real Satanic
cults rather than fake ones posing as Satanic for one or another
purpose). IMHO most Christians simply believe that Satan is not worth
wor****pping.

In the past there have been times (during the witchcraft scare) when
almost all Christians believed in existence of Satan wor****ppers. We
are past those days.

But the witches were not imagined to be in charge of anything. The
idea of a secret Satanic government seems to be a new idea. I suspect
it cannot be traced back before the middle of the nineteenth century.
I suspect the Masons may have something to do with its invention.

Paul makes reference to the Archons and to the Prince of this World -
both mentions have been identified with Satan, but not by Paul (who
speaks of Satan elsewhere). Exactly what Paul meant is obscure. But
the context suggests he was referring to the temptations of non-
Christian life and to the non-Christian government (not very nice -
but not Satanic) he and the other Christians were living under.

I find it easier to believe that incomprehensible governmental acts
are governed by stupidity rather than conspiracy. Other people prefer
the other way around.

It takes all kinds.
