And John doesn't believe there's anything wrong with him celebrating Christmas as a Satanist.
"There's nothing Christian about Christmas," he said.
"Christmas was timed to coincide with the Saturnalia and the winter solstice. Christmas trees are pagan, cooking and carving the turkey comes from a sacrificial ritual."
John, who says he an atheist got interested in The Satanic Bible and the book opened his eyes to the importance of enjoying your life, and engaging with the philosophical side of Satanism.
But what do you get a Satanist for Christmas? John says he and his other Satanists have their very own "Secret Satan" where they buy each other gifts.
He won't reveal what he bought his Secret Satan, but says people often buy each other Satan-related gifts.
John believes that if you read the Bible, it shows that the Devil was not a bad person, because he stood up to God after he killed millions of people.
He says that Satanism is about having an open mind, loving tradition and practicing ritual.
