Satan is a figurehead for the Church of Satan. He is a symbol of opposition and worldly pleasure. He is a symbol of non-conformity.

LaVey said it best -

"Satanism is the ultimate conscious alternative to herd mentality and institutionalized thought. It is a studied and contrived set of principles and exercises designed to liberate individuals from a contagion of mindlessness that destroys innovation. I have termed my thought "Satanism" because it is most stimulating under that name. Self-discipline and motivation are effected more easily under stimulating conditions. Satanism means "the opposition" and epitomizes all symbols of nonconformity. Satanism calls forth the strong ability to turn a liability into an advantage, to turn alienation into exclusivity. In other words, the reason it's called Satanism is because it's fun, it's accurate, and it's productive."

Do you find yourself more racist after having gone through a period of Satanic worship?

The ego and it's quest for satisfaction leads to imbalance and disharmony.

Why did you leave the Church of Satan?

I've never been racist... I cannot be more or less of something that I have never been.

Because their philosophy no longer suited my beliefs. Two main points really-

1) Satanism is about the self. It is about creating a world where you and your loved ones can be at peace. I believe all people are important and we should strive for the happiness of everyone and not just those we care about.

2) The church of Satan has said many times that it does not oppose other people's belief systems and that people should believe whatever they wish as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. I believe that the vast majority of religions are inherently harmful to scientific advancement and social evolution.

That's too stereotypical for a satanic person.

Satanism is not about being miserable. It's about being content with yourself and at peace with those around you.
