Nono. You don't have to believe in Satan to be a Satanist. Besides, Satan is to religion what Dracula is to fiction anyway. He pops up all over the place.
Personally I think it is because he is a good character, in the narrative sense that is. Most of the biblical characters are a bit bland, with David and Satan as honorable exceptions. David, however, is invariably tied to Abrahamic religion whereas Satan's narrative is more universal.
