Asked just after the incident if he was ashamed, Braun replied: β€œThose who take part in acts of satanic worship should be ashamed.”

I can maybe see one branch of Abrahamic religion calling another heretical, but calling any of them satanic seems like a pretty difficult claim to make.

I think "satanic" is being used in an adverbial sense, rather than as an adjective. By this, I mean that worship that is satanic in manner, which in this sense, means not Christian. By contrast, satanic (adj) worship would be something that actively involves worship of Satan or Satanism.

That being said, I'm probably thinking about this more than he did.

Which still doesn't make sense as Christianity essentiallu evolved from Judaism. They worship the same god (well, the Christian 3in1 god throws a wrench in it a bit but it is still the one god supposedly)
