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!

As ever, Satan is the good guy.
From what I remember, they don't actually believe in Satan. But under American law you can't be recognized as a religion without claiming a deity or god
That second part is not accurate at all. There is no requirement for worship of any deity to have the full protection of the first amendment, nor is there a requirement for a deity to be eligible for tax exempt status.
There are multiple religions that are protected under the constitution that worship is not a part of the religion at all.
Ey, good to hear that that has improved!
