      They were founded in 2012 and exist primarily to challenge US laws that are overtly religious. If a governor passes a law saying public schools must teach Bible study, atheists can’t legally object under US law. You can only object if a law violates your religion, not your lack of religion. So what if you made atheism a religion? That’s the Satanic Temple.

      It’s Satanic themed on purpose because “court rules schools must provide children Satanic literature” makes for a funny headline when in reality it’s just a paragraph about critical thinking.
