May it be Satanism, Wicca, Christianity, Islam, or Scientology.

That's as much Satanism, as blowing yourself up to be rewarded is Islamic. It's not the religion that's dangerous, it's the ignorant, stupid morons who think they're part of it. I saw someone use the wiki entry, can't be assed quoting but this part is most relevant to the religious practises:
"Modern Satanism is the observance and practice of Satanic religious beliefs, philosophies and customs.In this interpretation of Satanism, the Satanist does not worship Satan in the theistic sense, but is an adversary to all spiritual creeds, espousing hedonism, materialism, Randian Objectivism, antinomianism, rational egoism, individualism, suitheism, Nietzschean and some Crowleyan philosophy and anti-theism. Modern Satanists are also sometimes referred to as symbolic Satanists."
Nothing about hate, revenge, killing etc.

Dude, drop the act. Jesus knows that you love him very much, and he's waiting for you to come home. It's ok to accept it.

Nothing wrong with worshiping something, but the revenge/hatred part is just an extremist view, just the same as Christians/Muslims etc. So the opening question, yeah it has a place in society, and its also fair to remove those kids, because the parents are bringing them up with their own twisted view of the religion.
I also think its ok to remove kids from families who bring them up to hate gays, or that killing in the name of a god is right, because they believe so strongly in their religion that they put their religion before state law, or use it to enact prejudice. But you cant remove kids from a family just because they follow a religion, whatever it is.
If the article simply said they wanted to remove the kids because the parents were Satanists and worshiped the devil, then it is wrong and imposes on their religious freedom. But instead they were teaching their kids that it is ok to hate etc as "the most productive way to survive in society" so when they get older, they will most likely end up in jail or something because their views conflict with laws.

I ask this because in the British House of Commons an MP asked Children's Secretary Ed Balls to support moves by Child Protection Services to remove a child from a household with "Satanic" parents who worshipped the Devil and taught their child that hate and revenge where the most productive way to survive in society.The CSA removed the child because of fears of its upbringing being damaged by the parents.
Is this fair?
If parents can bring up children with Catholic or Buddhist ethics why can't they bring up a child with "Satanic" ones?

The Satan worship and the generalization of the hatred a violence. One could argue that the attitudes they are teaching the child will be detrimental to his ability to function in society, as compared to the child of skinheads who would just be viciously racist.
