Hi
This topic has recently been brought up in another thread. My opinion is that most people who follows satanism truly beliefs in it, but follows it mostly to shock and provoke people. It is like the ultimate statement of disbelief. If you're willing to jeopardize your eternal life, that must really proof how convinced you are that it doesn't exist. A small portion of followers though, might actually believe in it, and follow it because they have completely different ideas of what hell will be like. In Islam for example, we believe that every single person will be miserable in hell, including Satan. Some Satanists though, might believe that Satan will be "king" of hell, and can choose to make some of his followers have a nice time in hell as reward. Of course the question is, why would trust someone to reward us, if he despises us and has sworn to misguide us?
