As I said, there are more religions out there than what the history of America and Britain has told people about…
What makes a religious ritual satanic?
How is the worship of Santa Muerte satanic?
"For those who find themselves in hostile environments, both economically and socially, Santa Muerte is seen as a protector, offering her devotees a sense of security in Mexico, Central America, and the United States, all countries plagued by violence and poverty. Wielding her oversized scythe as a shield, she is a guardian of the weak, serving as a source of comfort and reassurance in the face of adversity. People involved in criminal activities such as drug cartels or gangs often face danger and violence, even the risk of murder; narcos, for instance, may beseech Santa Muerte for protection from harm and retribution. Her ritual paraphernalia is often found in the safehouses of these groups, symbolizing a supernatural guardian who watches over them. In Central America and Mexico, where the legal system fails to protect disenfranchised individuals involved in such activities, Santa Muerte offers a sense of security.
Santa Muerte can serve as a symbol of hope and salvation, especially for those who have led a life of crime or addiction, who often see the skeleton saint as a path to spiritual transformation and an opportunity to escape their troubled pasts. She offers a means to seek forgiveness, make amends, and find a new purpose in life. For those serving prison sentences, Santa Muerte represents the possibility of redemption and transformation. In Mexican and U.S. prisons, inmates commonly erect small altars to her in their cells. In fact, Santa Muerte is so popular among both inmates and prison guards in Mexico that she can be considered the patron saint of the entire Mexican penal system. Both inmates and guards ask the death saint to protect them from the constant dangers of prison life, while the former also pray to her for a speedy release."

Christians have become conditioned to use "satanic" to describe anything that is deemed evil. This killing of the teenager was an evil act but was it satanic?
There are plenty of religions worldwide but only the Abrahamic faiths have the concept of Satan.
MS-13 is horrible and scary. They are not only a violent street gang but a transnational criminal organization. They are evil bad guys. I just don't think we need to label them as satanic to make them what? Scarier?
What makes a religious ritual satanic?
When the people performing the ritual say it is satanic…
What makes for a satanic religion?
When the people within the religion say they are worshipping satan.
I don’t give a shit about what MS-13 does… though it is weird that so many of you can decide that since you read a European link, you now have the ability to decide that *other people’s* religions are not valid enough to be counted as a religion…
