These two religions, Satanists and Christians, seem to be the two least likely religions to get along as a whole. My question is; Why?

Many Christians nowadays are hypocritical, but not all are. I happen to be among them. I have a Satanist for a brother-in-law and so long as we aren't talking politics we get along fine. We've discussed religion and have accepted the facts; he has his beliefs, I have mine, they aren't changing.

There are Christians that have a problem with Satanists and if you read their bible you'll know why. The reason for some of them thinking Satanists are Devil-Worshipers is that their devil is referred to as Satan at least once and if you read about the devil you'll see you'd be a fool to worship him. There are, however, Christians that realize the Satan worshiped by Satanists is not the same Satan as is in the Christian bible.

The reason I'm asking why Christians and Satanists can't get along is because I see Satanists who attack Christians without giving them a chance to show whether or not they are ignorant of what Satanism is. I know not all Satanists are like that, my brother-in-law gave me a chance and was even willing to teach me what I didn't know, but is there something in the Satanist's bible saying Christians are bad? Are these Satanists that I mentioned simply ignorant of what Christianity is? Or are they simply foolish enough to judge the entirety of a religion based on the actions of hypocritical individuals?

I'm in no way trying to insult either religion, although I am aware this may result in an argument/debate. I just want to know the Satanist's point of view for why the two religions can't get along.
