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!

After school satan is an initiative from The Satanic Temple, or TST, they are different from the Church of Satan, like Catholic and Protestant are different. TST is basically the politically active one and they do not follow the satanic bible but rather have the seven tenets
Yeah, the Satanic Bible is kinda fucked up, totally different spirit than the 7 Tenets. It encourages selfishness, manipulation, grifting. Feels more like a pick up artist type self help book than anything else. Anton LeVey, the leader of the Church of Satan wrote it, along with the Satanic Witch- the ladies version of the Satanic Bible and they are both trash.

The 7 Tenets are lovely:
They're also a fundamentally atheist organization, so I'm not sure the analogy holds.
CoS is also atheistic. See FAQ: https://www.churchofsatan.com/faq-fundamental-beliefs/
Ah ok. My bad.
