This interesting I'm glad you've found your way and what you want to do. I'm not a religious person myself, but I find it interesting trying to understand what they are all about. I did read "The satanic bible" by Anton LaVey some years back.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if I recall correctly he started as a church organist right? But also playing in amusement parks seeing men together with prostitutes on Friday and Saturday, then with their wife and kids in church on Sunday so he decided that he didn't want to be a part of such hypocrisy and he went on and establishing the Church of Satan later on.

The way I remember the satanic religion and its philosophy, it says something in the lines of:
We are all just humans and we're allowed to make mistakes. The important thing is that if we make a mistake we learn from it and do anything we can to not repeat that mistake.

It doesn't force you to come crawling on you knees to beg for forgiveness like other religions demands.

It's been a while since I read that book, so this is how I recall it, so please correct any flaws in my memory
