You've got a point. Honestly, though, I think my issue is that while the other aspects are left-hand path as you say, this isn't -- it's not even a perversion of something on the right-hand -- it's taking unrelated things -- witchcraft and Christianity and tying them together when there isn't a connection. LaVey was an idiot.
Apart from my own issues -- which are mine and no one is bound by them of course -- it might rub certain people who might otherwise be interested in picking up a copy the wrong way. It'd be enough to keep me from picking up a copy, for instance, since the annoyance factor would come at me whenever I picked up the deck.

your mileage may vary, of course.
