Because it's great marketing to teenage fans.
When I was a kid I loved The Stones and Zep because they WERE "Satanic".
lol
In the 1980's everyone thought Motley Crue was "Satanic" too. Turns out they are just old guys wearing wigs now.
Seriously...it's marketing. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Jimmy Page didn't take that bridge on Stairway to heaven and first read the "satanic" lyrics and reverse THOSE to phonically figure out which words could create the reverse satan lyrics.
Page is super smart and a genius in the recording studio.
EDIT: In other words...what we call "viral marketing" today.
