Robert Bowman identifies three types of Satanists:

Materialistic Satanists -- the majority; those like LaVey, for whom Satan is not real and all rituals are simply for fun

Mystical Satanists -- those who think an impersonal spiritual power can be tapped for their personal benefit; sometimes these Satanists believe in two powers, one positive and one negative, and they seek the negative power.

Mad Satanists -- those who believe in God and Satan, profess to follow Satan despite the eternal consequences, and who are often mentally unstable; such Satanists are generally isolated individuals, not part of a larger Satanic group
