Religious freedom to oppress other religions.
These articles fail to point out the reason the Iowa Capitol has a satanic display is because it also has a christian display.
The Satanic Temple exists only to proposition the government to allow the Temple to do similar things they allow christians to do. They don't proposition the government to do anything unless a christian group has done it first. If what they're doing upsets you--that's the point. The idea is to show how the government shouldn't be allowing any form of religious displays or religious arguments.
Also, it gets pointed out all the time, but members of the Satanic Temple don't actually worship satan. Their name and symbols are simply meant to offend christians.
Time to knock over some crosses and Jesus statues.
Forcing the prosecutors to drop the hate crime is a huge victory for Cassidy and for religious freedom.
Dude is going get a small fine, no jail time, and the charge is being expunged. Now had it been a satanist beheading a Jesus statue, would things have gone this same way?

It's funny how taking a plea bargain equates to "forcing the prosecutors" and then claiming it is a victory for religious freedom.

It isn't a victory for freedom of religion. It is nothing more than a plea deal. He took the lesser sentence to avoid potentially losing in court.
I am not a fan of the plea system because it allows for abuse but it is the system we have in place.
Well, good. But then I also hope it's precedent for when i whipe poo all over the baby Jesus nativity.
But, y'know, religious symbols have nothing, nothing to do in a government building -especially if you're protestant. That's the sin of vanity.
Bro, you pray in public? What, are you Catholic? Cringe.
