The mission of The Satanic Temple is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble pursuits. The Satanic Temple has publicly confronted hate groups, fought for the abolition of corporal punishment in public schools, applied for equal representation when religious installations are placed on public property...

They're more of an atheist organization.

It’s a thing that trolls religion, and I really love that. Like a religion HOA that isn’t run by karen.

Short answer? The latter.

Humanist, some of their less known cause is their support for freedom of choice for woman.

The Satanic Temple is not really satanic, they are atheists doing what churches would never. Help people.

satan is a christian concept, so, no, they don't worship satan

Sounds like the same thing.

Then no religious would be allowed since all encourage discrimination and violence.

Alex Travous yes

Alex Travous no

There were Xmas trees too...what's your point

Sadly, they probably wouldnt need to do that. The Christian community would be out in force well before the Satanic Temple would need to be...

When have Christians sacrificed children? Satanists are the pro-choice ones.

I sincerely believe in the 7 tenets from the Satanic Temple. Also, they are recognized as a church. https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us

Unlike xtian cults book of BS, TST says rape and murder is ALWAYS wrong. As is forcing religious nonsense on others, especially through bloodshed like xtians and muslims do.

Legitimate worshipers???! I'm sure some of them are, but most that I've known have been legitimate hypocrites! To them, going to church and "worshiping" is like washing their hands; they can get as dirty as they want, but can always get clean. Rinse and repeat. Literally!

"Should", yes. But we don't. It's a feeble-minded human thing.

Actually, isn't Satan the one punishing sinners in your fantasy creation? A priest molests a kid, god does nothing to stop it, the church sends him to another location so he can do it again... Satan is the only one who actually punishes him for his sin. Also, racists (why the quotations?) ARE bad. Full stop.

Whose definition? Why do others need to see your way or the highway (to hell, I assume)? Didn't you storm the Capitol last week?

Church of Satan is the Satan praise, I’m assuming like Catholic Church, just backwards. And then they’re both confused at the cults like “what- what are you guys doing?”
