Heretic is definitely disturbing

That's true, but the sort of abstract way of concluding that he is a Satanist would come through an Abrahamic perspective, for example through a Christian lens one would view someone like Mr Reed as a Satanist in that all his evil deeds are Satanic/Demonic in nature…more simply from a Christian perspective all things outside of Godliness are wordly/sinful/evil from the mundane (lying, petty stealing, lustful thoughts) to the heinous (murder, rape, etc).
No. My son pointed out the all the Satanic symbols and painting and stuff in Mr Reed's house especially in those rooms the girl walked through underground as she made her way to that room where all those women where locked in cages and being starved to death.
Pause the movie at those parts and the do a Google search on that stuff. -

Ah. Those aren't specifically Satanic, well unless again you apply that abstract thinking through a Christian lens. I suppose it COULD be argued that Mr Reed was still lying in the end about what he believed was the "true religion" and saying it was "control"…Going back to the Christian perspective, demons all know who Christ is, but will lie about Him to people to put doubt in their minds and lead them astray, which is their ultimate goal. So, if Mr Reed did infact believe in demonic occult practices but his goal was to torment believers, he naturally would lie to them (as he did repeatedly) and derive pleasure out of that torment and harm, and especially out of breaking their faith, if he could.

He wasn't - they kinda make you think that at first. He has his own religion
No, it was all those paintings, and stuff in those rooms that is proof of Satanism.
He paused the movie, did a Google search of those items. The search lead him to Satanic stuff. Some of the same stuff that was in Mr. Reed's home and those rooms underneath his home. -

Maybe I missed somethings? I have to give it another watch. I do remember the sigils and occult circles on the doors, but they could be related to a few potential practices.
