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!

Atheists don't support religions.

Atheists actively do not believe in God or gods. The Satanic Temple is non-theistic. There are plenty of atheists out there that support non-theist religions.

Your displeasure that atheism being related to “Satan” is you taking a theistic viewpoint by seeing it as the Abrahamic religions do.

The word "Satan" was not originally a proper name, but rather an ordinary noun that means "adversary". In this context, it appears at several points in the Old Testament.

If you actually read and knew the tenet of TST then you’d know that they are the adversary of Christian extremism.
