Is the The Satanic Temple actually "Satanic?"

I have an odd question for my friends here. Do you consider The Satanic Temple satanic?

I do not. I think they are a good activist group that is doing something that needs to be done, but I don't view them as Satanic.

Reason being this quote taken directly from their website: "The Satanic Temple does not have any sacred book or scripture and we do not adhere to The Satanic Bible. We do have a suggested reading list that provides some illumination on the philosophical origins of our beliefs. "

As far as I am concerned, but not adhering to the Satanic bible is saying they aren't following the religion they are claiming. Thoughts?

Edit: I'm basing the definition of Satanism on what LaVey established in the 60s. I know the path has been around, but I'm asking based on this.
