New Hope Baptist Community Church - Satanic ritual and Greater Magic

Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my post and hopefully to clarify something for me.
I have been interested in Magic, the Occult and religion ever since my early teenage years but at the same time being a huge skeptic and questioner of everything “supernatural”.
I was around 15 years old when I discovered The Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey and, like many others before me, felt like I was reading a book about how I was living already.
I have been a somewhat lukewarm Satanist ever since then but up until recently, I feel I want to finally declare myself wholeheartedly a Satanist, with my intention to register membership probably in the new year.
My question remains as it did all those years ago. Would I be considered a “proper” Satanist if I didn’t participate in Greater Magic ritual?
I know that it is stated that ritual is entirely optional but I have yet to come across anyone (online) that doesnt use ritual in their life?
I understand fully that its purpose is intended as a psychodrama and that ritual is as unique as a finger print to every other individual, but I can’t really seem to find a purpose to use it.
Being able to talk my way out and around things and getting what I want in my general life is what I feel that I am good at already. I guess this is what we call Lesser Magic?
Forgive me if this topic has been discussed already.
Any help appreciated.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
