        Massachusetts-based Satanic Temple says it doesn’t believe in Satan but describes itself as a “non-theistic religious organization” that advocates for secularism.

        I think the intend was definitely to protest and demand “Separation of church and state”. So problem wasn’t the nutjob destroying the idol, it was the nutjobs allowing religious displays in the Capitol building.
