That's impossible, Scientology claims to have 8-10 million members.

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the [federal] government." ~ James Madison

Seriously, pie charts blow. And the groups are not congruent between the years. You're an idiot. Try making a chart if you can't find a good one like you were not a retarded asshole that you are.
Posting two graphs would imply that there is a trend or something interesting to be seen between the two, but not really at all here.
I would assume a Satanist would be under other religion, considering Satanism is the opposite of Christianity?
I don't consider Satanism as the opposite of Christianity. Satanism is the worshipping of Satan (otherwise called Lucifer) who's 100% part of Christian beliefs as the counterpart of "God".
"A fallen angel, in Christian theology, is an angel who has been exiled or banished from Heaven. Often such banishment is a punishment for disobeying or rebelling against God (see War in Heaven). The best-known fallen angel is Lucifer, a name frequently attributed to Satan in Christian belief. This usage stems from a particular interpretation of Isaiah 14:3-20 that speaks of someone who is given the name of "Day Star" or "Morning Star" (in Latin, Lucifer) as fallen from heaven. The word Lucifer, however, does not refer to Satan anywhere in the Bible. Some see the passage as using this name to describe the king of Babylon, who had exalted himself as being deity himself, after which God would cast him down. The same terminology is used in Ezekiel to describe the king of Tyre. The Greeketymological synonym of Lucifer, Eωσφόρος (Eosphoros, "dawn-bearer")[1][2] is used of the morning star in 2 Peter 1:19 and elsewhere with no reference to Satan. Still, Satan is called Lucifer in many later writings, notably Milton's Paradise Lost (7.131-134, among others), because, according to Milton, Satan was "brighter once amidst the host of Angels, than that star the stars among."[3]

There is not "counter-part". By Biblical standards and teachings, he's just a fallen angel in a fallen world. He's not on par, nor an equal to God. He's a created being just like everyone else.
Dude, I know who Satan is. he is not God's equivalent.
You said it was his equivalent. Not me. Satan is God's arch rival (or counterpart if you prefer) in the Judeo-Christian mythology. God is in heaven, Satan is in hell.
Remember that you were questionning if Satanism was part of Christianity. Which I think it is, as the Bible and Torah have long citations about Satan/Devil or however you name it. Actually Qur'an has its own satanic verses. And Star Wars has its own Darth Vader... ;-)

WOW. The blatant ignorance in this statement alone is astounding. So because Science was involved in some of Hitler's experiments via the Jews during WW2, all Science is of Hitler or Hitler-esce?? At least, that's how you think and what you elude to on a regular basis in regards to Christianity.
