Satanism and the British Royal Navy

"He looks every bit the clean-cut naval rating at the start of a promising military career.
But the ordinary face of Chris Cranmer masks his unusual status - as the first officially recognised Satanist in the British Armed Forces.
Leading Hand Cranmer, 24, a technician on board HMS Cumberland, has been given permission to perform dark Satanic rituals at sea.
Captain Russell Best of the Type 22 frigate made the decision which allows the serviceman to openly worship the Devil. It means Mr Cranmer of Kirkliston, West Lothian, will be given a Church of Satan funeral if he is killed in action, and is allowed to perform rituals wearing black robes in front of a makeshift altar."
