Although Forge tends to say in interviews that Ghost's use of satanic imagery is primarily theatrical and symbolic rather than endorsement of any "religious or philosophical" doctrine, I would stay away. We have an obligation to guard our eyes and imagination.
The "rock star" is a motif inspired by a fallen angel, a Dionysus, so in some sense I get it. And yet, Satan" as more aligned with a pop-cultural symbol of rebellion and "liberation" rather than a literal belief in a demonic entity is a dangerous path of entertainment, since these entities are real and subtle, able to allure with real power - although quite superficial when contrasted to the Creator they foolishly rebelled from.

I don't know why it shocks me that there are still people who think this way, but it always does. Wow.
