Nice one, thanks for posting.
I think that it is only proper that a con-artist / trickster personality was the prophet of this church.
Similarly, the video's tone of mild outrage at LaVey's lies and the gullibility of certain people, is slightly mis-directed, I feel. What else to expect from the archetype (in general terms, not Jungian) he represented?

LaVey played the part of Satan in Rosemary's Baby, made by Roman Polanski from the book by Ira Levin.
Interesting thing about Rosemary's Baby is that in the book Rosemary's husband's name is Roman. He is the member of a Satanist group and allows Satan to impregnate his wife with the devil child. Charles Manson obviously took this to mean that the child in Sharon Tate's womb was the real Rosemary's Baby, and that is why he decided to kill her, imo

The classic horror movie Rosemary's Baby has been dubbed a "cursed" film because of the numerous bizarre and tragic deaths connected to it.

I used to love his channel and follow it diligently.
I've definitely fallen off that for various reasons, including things like odd times of seeming contemptuous, mildly outraged, or outright snarky.
Plus he used to be a channel that discussed psychology and mental health, but it became almost all true crime, with some asides into pop culture or well known personalities (but with less and less of the objective examination of personality factors, althought he did cover that briefly at about 5 minutes in or so in this video)
