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!

Stan is fast as hell. I saw him beat a dog in a race once.
me too. To be fair, it was a newfie. not exactly fast. (unless pizza is falling on the floor.)
Goodspeed
Are they advocating for religious freedoms or challenging what “religious freedom” means when christian nationalists just want to use it for their own benefit. I get the sense they’d be just as happy to have a real separation of church and state or church and education but because Christians want to blur that line satanists are happy to remind them that religious freedom applies to all religions.
They really want a clear separation of church and state.
Normally, when these kinds of laws or rules are created, it is with the intention to be solely utilized by the Christian faith.
While the same approach could be done with Judiasm or Islam, invoking Satanism is a much clearer signal for Christians. "Why is the school promoting Satan?" becomes a leading question to start the discussion that maybe government shouldn't advocate or promote any religion.
That's their solution for mental health?! School chaplains??! Man, this country is so fucked.
No, their solution is to threaten school chaplains, that way the Satanic Temple trains some secular counselors in reflective listening and developmental psychology in response to the call for religious volunteers Since the Satan Chaplains are working for an activist cause, they're cheaper than actual counselors. And all the school has to do is admit that an active Satanist works in the school.
It's chess on a five-dimensional manifold, man.
Hail Satan!
