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!

What don't you agree with? Be specific.
The Supreme Court, quite bigotedly, determined that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (PBUHNA) is not a "real" religion, and therefore adherents do not enjoy the same rights as people who follow one of the preferred religions.
Satanism, on the other hand, is a nontheistic religion that has long been recognized, even if it is begrudgingly, as a preferred religion in the United States. That's why you don't see this "crap," aka fighting for your individual liberties and equal protection under the law, from the FSM anymore.
Don't conflate atheists with the areligious. There's an overlap, but they aren't the same.
Ok. I don't believe I did that.
Sorry, I meant to reply to the guy two spots above your.
