Modern Satanists are actually extremely progressive. The Satanic Temple makes a point of using legislation intended to promote Christianity to promote their own religious organization.

It pisses off the reactionary religious zealots and shows them to be hypocrites, and there's nothing legislators can do about it without blatantly giving preferential treatment to the "correct" religion.

I'm talking about their version of satanists not the real people

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

To be fair, the Satanic Temple isn't exactly satanic per se. It's more of a parody religion to point out the unfair law exceptions churches get. They are more anti-church (or maybe even anti-religion) than actually satanic.

I'd be very surprised if a significant portion of members of the Satanic Temple actually seriously believe in the existence of satan.

It's about the same as e.g. the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Ah yes. Sanat, Satan's lesser known brother.
