Racism and extreme social-darwinistic views are pretty much the core of nazi thought.

white nationalism is the core of contemporary nazism; land has no sentimental attachment to the white race or even people in general, but rather sees intelligence (abstractly) acting via darwinian selection as the agent of history. this is not limited to human intelligence; he sees capitalism as an intelligent process, and inextricable from AI, which he expects to subsume humans.

Violent revolution and utopianism were core beliefs of both Nazism and Bolshevism. Individual rights are a core belief of both social democratic liberalism and anarcho-capitalism. The existence of Satan is a core belief of both Christians and Satanists.
A and B sharing core beliefs does not mean A == B.
You point stands but most Satanism actually doesn't actually believe in a literal Satan, they identify with him as an allegory.
The largest sects, The Church of Satan (athiest) and the Satanic Temple (non-theist) don't have a belief in Satan as a deity.
There is a subset that actually does though but they are a minority of a minority.
