Except that the Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple (2 different organizations) don't teach that people should "dedicate themselves" to a personal devil, much less the one depicted in the Bible. They are just named in a deliberately provocative way to make the heads of authoritarian religious people explode -- particularly the Satanic Temple. The image below explains the difference between the two.
You shouldn't waste your energy attacking a straw man. Note that neither of these organizations believe in, much less worship, Satan.
I have to say, The Satanic Temple sounds rather cool.

I have to admire their protest actions. Whenever some jurisdiction (usually down South) allows a religious statue on public property, the Satanic Temple can be counted on to propose, on an equal-time justification, a statue of Baphomet in the same location. One time I am aware of they even specified that it should be placed facing a statue of Moses, as close to it as possible.
It will get the religious statue removed from the county courthouse every time.
The Satan Clubs work the same way; although they have course materials and everything, I'm not aware that one of those clubs has ever been opened, as it's just easier for the Bible Club plans to be scrapped.

Yes, I admire that too.
I wonder if their protests ever spark an "a-ha!" moment for anyone. I hope so.

This is a perfect example of the principle that the First Amendment exists every bit as much, if not more so, to protect unpopular ideas as it does popular ones.

Watching the religious zealots heads explode is a joy. It might be worth a donation!
