Is Satanism a legitimate threat? Or is this just another moral panic?

Panic 
In the 1980s, there was a big Satanism scare in the US, with people imagining Satanists lurking around every corner. The California state legislature was looking for backwards Satanic messages in rock music albums. Some people even thought the Procter and Gamble logo was a Satanic symbol:

Procter and Gamble have since changed their logo to the letters "P&G" in a distinctive font.

In the 1990s, an urban legend circulating amongst twenty-somethings in my circle had it that the reason nothing bad ever happens at Denny's is that the chain is owned by witches who cast a protective spell over its restaurants.

Fast forward about 35 years, and some hardcore Q Anon followers are accusing Hillary Clinton and other members of the ruling class of Satanic rituals, including child sacrifice. While it's possible that these people are involved in child trafficking, their motives needn't necessarily involve Satanism or the occult.

As if that weren't enough, a YouTuber is now sounding the alarm over another corporate logo, that of Starbucks Coffee.




Now I'm inclined more towards a Jungian interpretation of occult imagery. I presume advertisers use such images simply because they appeal to the subconscious mind. After all, advertising is a form of propaganda, used to influence people's buying habits.

What do you think?
