Re: Luciferianism and Satanism
That's kind of why I said the Satanist is more "malevolent" while the Luciferian is more "benevolent", but the both of them are labeled as LHP and both can aspire for apotheosis (I'm not sure if it's more of a theistic thing or not though) and both aren't as altruistic as the Big Three, so they're a little "selfish" in comparison to the Big Three. Though, as said and mentioned, Luciferians can be altruistic or selfless compared to their Satanist brethern but it doesn't mean all of them will be either. Some might have some Satanic morality, for example. It's kind of flexible
It does but in the case of most religions, where some will teach you to be as morally selfless as possible, they're selfish because they don't teach you to be morally selfless. They teach you to trend your own path and morality. Decide for yourself, not what others tell you; independence, individuality, etc. In that light, they're selfish because they're focusing on themselves and not so much on others like some religions are prone to do or say. Not focusing on others can be seen as selfish to someone who is practicing a morally selfless religion, while focusing on others can be seen as ridiculous to someone who is practicing a selfish religion.
Luciferians, iirc, do value spreading knowledge and do value people gaining knowledge, but they also value deciding things for yourself, independence and individuality. So -shrug-

It also depends on what considers selfish. Having stuff for yourself is not bad as long as it's not against anyone's expense. i.e. taking more than your fair share of food or money, like being a cheap skate, are not ethical. I said almost all religions tend to teach some morals, being kind, don't hurt people, stop evil, love your land, family and so forth
