The Satanic Temple

I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

Interestingly stupid take you got there bud
Are you completely ignorant about TST's court cases? Read their legal arguments, you can find them at whatever court they're filed with. They are completely insane, it's literally a fundraising grift.
Didn't they recently try to argue that abortion was a sacred ritual? Completely ignoring that SCOTUS has already ruled that criminal laws are not a violation of religious freedom. (A decision they had to make or else you could found the Church of Posada and legally engage in nuclear terrorism). Literally nobody with a brain would have made that argument, and yet they lied to the public about it's soundness to fundraise.
Read more about what the satanic temple is about. Then read your own comments again. I'm not even going to waste my time explaining it to your dumb dumb ass...
Because things could not possibly be different than what they claim to be?
I'll admit it's been a few years since I cared enough about atheist activism to research organisations to participate in. When I do such research, I try to find if the organisation actually effectively produces results. And that's just not what I found about TST, the legal ineptitude combined with financial opacity was sufficient red flags but I understand that's not of concern to you.
