Having grown up in a liberal part of the country, I didn't even know people thought D&D was Satanic until I saw a 1983 episode of "The Greatest American Hero" called "Wizards & Warlocks" where there were references to the game being 'evil' (although the game in the episode was closer to LARPing, the nod to D&D was clear). I was confused and asked around. That was my first introduction to the wackiness of Bible-belters.
