I think it's better to read this earlier post I wrote...

You can be a follower of an egoistic philosophy based on teachings of the Dark Side (so-called Sithism), the same as you can be a follower of light side moral philosophy in Jediism.
But being a REAL Sith, I would say, is even more tricky then being a real Jedi (a trained guardian of peace and justice living in a monastic order).
Being a real Sith and striving to gain total power over all others, would be against the law of every democratic nation on this planet because of tyranny. They would be officially labeled criminals and terrorists (like in the Darth Bane novels) by the government. Anything else below this may be a follower of Dark Side teachings, but not a "real Sith". Thank the Force!
Though you might argue that there are people on this planet right now who do exactly the same thing that Palpatine did without calling themselves "Sith". :S

I.e. a Sith would win the lottery and keep the money for themselves...a Jedi however would donate some to charity...(before anyone jumps on the band wagon...obviously there are exceptions to every rule...I myself wouldn't donate any money to charity if I won several million pounds. But I would still call myself a Jedi)

Sith are stern parents, wanting to take control for the children (the world), because they are obviously too ignorant to take care of themselves...
Whereas Jedi are the lenient parents, trying to guide the children (the world) into making good decisions for itself...
Sith, laugh and point at the stumbles of the children.... Telling them to stand up, and be strong...
Jedi pick them up, dust them off, and try to help figure out how to avoid doing it again...
Sith would prefer everyone just did as they were told, and listened, then we would all follow the one direction of the Emperor (lol, I had too...
Jedi would prefer that everyone figured out on their own, and could work together for its own betterment...
I could continue, but I think my point is clear...
And, these are just my thoughts at the moment, always subject to change with a good conversation...
Also, this is a very broad generalization... Not every Sith, or Jedi, agrees with this, or acts/thinks in this manner...
On walk-about...
Sith ain't Evil...
Jedi ain't Saints....

I look forward to seeing/reading more as others add their opinions to the mix.
More or less what I was looking for were some links to the different sites that deal in Sithism and the Sith. This way I could just go and investigate for myself and gather all the things I want to / and need to know.
Though all of the answers here have been absolutely fantastic.
Though I wonder---@MetsuDesal: What did you mean when you were talking about "unmentionable" sith?

sadly that is wrong on nearly all accounts...
we have pagan jedi here, we have wiccan jedi, we have sith members...and none of them have been judged by any of us....it seems as though you're comparing us to fictional jedi...and comparing sith to fictional sith...seems to me as though you're the one passing judgement....

Nice rant for a first post.
I think you're are drawing too much from fiction and are bit out of touch with what this place is about to be stating those things about us.
I don't hate the Sith.
