From the Editorial Review of the book you recommend:

"Scientist, poet, and self-proclaimed Antichrist, Jack Parsons was a bizarre genius whose life reads like an implausible yet irresistible science fiction novel. Sex and Rockets looks at his short life and dual career as cofounder of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and leader of the Agape Lodge of Aleister Crowley's Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO)."

That about sums it up.

Nothing at all in that book or that blurb backs up the claim that Parsons was a "practicing Satanist".

Incidentally, the "Antichrist" is a Christian conception, not a Satanist construct.
