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!

The local chapter here has broken off because of issues with Lucien Greaves (I'm avoiding that discussion), so I'm kind of floating around.

Even having a few likeminded people on Lemmy would be great.

There's seem to be plenty of like minded people. Not members but most seem to be sane and atheist or not too religious from what I have seen.

I didn't really follow much about the leader using the same lawyer that defended Alex Jones and other trumpy grumpies, but maybe your leader is trying to poison the well. What better way to upset the right than get their lawyers to work with the satanic temple.

IMO, that was one of the least objectionable things that Mesner did. The attorney that he hired in one case offered his own time for free, which is a pretty solid indication that, despite having some shitty clients, they lawyer was more concerned with 1A issues than the ideological position of his clients. The fact is that constitutional law cases rarely involve people that you or I would personally like; most of the people are pretty awful.
