LaVey admitted that it's mostly to draw in the anti-Christian crowd and gain notoriety. My brother has copies of the Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals. One of these days we're going to get drunk and try to summon Cthulhu, and probably incorporate some of the stuff into our Black Metal-style recordings for laughs.
These days, most of the people who are part of LaVey's original church are white supremacists.
