 Zeena Schreck has criticized The Satanic Bible as a financial endeavor suggested by Avon publisher , Mayer . She maintains that it contains large amounts of falsified information about LaVey 's past , and that much of the book is plagiarized from Redbeard 's Might Is Right , Dee 's Enochian Keys , and Rand 's Atlas Shrugged . Chris Mathews , in Modern Satanism : Anatomy of a Radical Subculture , describes The Satanic Bible as " hastily prepared " and cynical . Both Mathews and a 1971 article in Newsweek compare the ideologies presented in The Satanic Bible to Nazism : containing " unremitting focus on social elitism , appeals to force , and scorn for egalitarian principles " . Israel Regardie criticized LaVey 's alteration of the Enochian Keys in The Book of Leviathan as stupid and of lower quality than the original Keys .
