    From their website

    No, nor do we believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural. The Satanic Temple believes that religion can, and should, be divorced from superstition. As such, we do not promote a belief in a personal Satan. To embrace the name Satan is to embrace rational inquiry removed from supernaturalism and archaic tradition-based superstitions. Satanists should actively work to hone critical thinking and exercise reasonable agnosticism in all things. Our beliefs must be malleable to the best current scientific understandings of the material world — never the reverse.

      I met a boomer guy who really thought the Satanic Temple believed in Satan. He wouldn’t even hear it.

      He was also in a cult for half of his life. Like the “I live in a isolated bunker farm and gave up my passport/social security card” cult.

      Not saying they’re related. but I am leaning towards anyone who has a negative opinion of the Satanic Temple also being a fucking moron.
