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!

I've never been to a satanic temple, but the Unitarian universalist church I visited was 90% atheist. Sermons/lectures were way more philosophy than religion, though using bits from different faith traditions to emphasize their points. This particular church did a ton of climate and social justice activism too.
They weren't a separation-of-church-state focused group, but otherwise the vibe was perhaps similar.
But then... Why go? Real question, not being sarcastic. I just don't understand the point I think.
Not op, but some people seek the community that religion provides.
