Any links on history of Satanism?

Well, i'm far from being an expert on the matter, but i believe there are 2 kinds of satanism: the true satanism as a religion and the "perverted" one. The difference is that the religion of satanism advocates there is a god, but this god is evil and wants the destruction of the world, whereas in all other religions (christian, muslim, budhist etc) the god is good and wants to save the world. I think Nitche (sp) was a satanist, in that, he believed god was evil, whereas, Goethe was an atheist (didn't believe in god).
Now, the more fascinating form of satanism, is the "perverted", where things go a bit ugly. It's what most ppl think when they hear the word. U know, killing chickens and all that voodoo stuff. I don't believe the second form has dedicated believers, just kids who want to show off by pretending they call the spirits of the dead.
Anyway, i think the religion of satanism is the 3rd largest in the state of California. If someone knows more and feels i've made any mistake, please correct me, as i said i don't really know that much.

1.If you want some basics about satanism - read La Vey ( he is easy to read IMHO );
2.Chickens, cats, hanged children it is for diabolists ( sp? ).
