I'd say that the vast majority are exactly that.  Just take Christian norms and invert them - Lucifer as a role model instead of Jesus, self-indulgent instead of self-denying, meritocratic instead of autocratic, dressed in black instead of white, etc.

The ones we hear about in the news are fierce defenders of seperation of church and state and expose inappropriate cozying - if Satanists try to do what Christians routinely do and their way is barred, then it becomes quite obvious that there is a double-standard.  They should be lauded for their good work at rooting out corruption that endangers our secular republic.

Secular republic, with religious freedom on the private scale ;-)  Our culture isn't secular, it is a cult.
