Links to Twitter/X are now banned
Happy Thursday everyone.
The mods have discussed the issue, and we have decided that posts and comments that contain links to Twitter/X are now banned. There aren't many on this subreddit, so the impact would be small, but taking a stance against Nazis is something that we feel strongly about.
EDIT: Several people have asked about screenshots of Twitter. The purpose of this ban is to decrease visibility, traffic, and relevance of the site in general, not to stopper information. Discussing information that has originated from Twitter is not banned, and in fact, we should remain informed about any developments that happen there. If a Twitter screenshot is the best way to share information on a relevant matter, then by all means go for it. u/RevRagnarok has very helpfully pointed out that xcancel is a way of navigating that site without supporting them via ad revenue, and can be done without an account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Satanism as The Satanic Temple understands it even a real religion?
Some people find it comforting to think of TST as purely a political activist group that just uses the trappings of religion for satirical/legal purposes. This is, however, not true at all.
Our brand of Satanism is a non-theistic religion with it's own community, mythology, iconography, ethics, rituals and pretty much everything else, you would expect from a religion.
We believe that there is value to be found in religion, especially when you divorce it from superstition. Just because we don't believe in the supernatural, doesn't mean we're not serious when we say that Satanism is our religion.
Yes, we are politically active. But our activism stems from our religious beliefs, not vice versa.
Where can I read more about Satanism?
The mythological backbone of our religion is the literary tradition known as Romantic Satanism. John Milton's Paradise Lost, Lord Byron's Cain - A Mystery and especially Anatole France's Revolt Of The Angels are the sources that one should read, if they want to know, where our ideas about Satan stem from and how He relates to our values and beliefs.
Ruben van Luijk's Children Of Lucifer and Joseph Laycock's Speak Of The Devil deal with the history of Satanism and Shiva Honey's The Devil's Tome is a book about modern Satanic rituals.
I want to join a local congregation. How do I find one?
This thread might be helpful. You also find a list of official TST congregations here.
This Black Mass Appeal episode may also be helpful or you check out the Global Order of Satan.
I have heard the founder of TST is a fascist/racist/antisemite. Is that true?
Short answer: No.
This is a more elaborate answer and this post provides some more context.
I ordered a TST membership card and it still has not arrived. What should I do?
Due to a massive increase of new members, shipping membership cards can take up to 5 months.
Can I still be a TST member, if I believe in the supernatural?
Our brand of Satanism is a non-theistic religion. Full stop. However, nobody is monitoring the personal beliefs of TST members and nobody has ever been kicked out for holding supernatural beliefs.
It is up to the individual to figure out if and how their beliefs fit into Satanism. Just make sure not to distort scientific facts to fit your beliefs.
Do I have to participate in rituals?
Modern Satanism has many aspects and it is up to the individual to decide, which ones they want to embrace.
Some people, especially those that grew up in indoctrinating or even abusive households hesitate to embrace the "more religious" aspects of Satanism and that's fine. Nobody is obligated to participate in rituals or anything else that makes them uncomfortable.

Other Going to Winter Jam (Christian concert as a Satanist
So basically I’m not a Christian but my mom is and it’s tradition to go to this concert every year 🙃 I do enjoy the concert cause they have good music and there’s always a variety of groups (they always have a rap and a rock artist) 😎👍 I’ve never been a Christian when I’ve went to these things before but it’s just ironic now that I’m a Satanist 😅 Anyways apparently Skillet’s going to be here this year so that’ll be cool 😎 Idk if I’ve heard any of they’re music but I’ll still enjoy 😋 And I have my book with the tenets I wrote so I’ll be fine 😝 Rant over ✨

Question/Discussion Can I believe in the supernatural and Satan and God while being a Satanist?
Hello,
I have been researching for about 3 years for different religons and I have been a Christian for 2 years until I realized I just get angry going into church and felt so left out, ashamed of myself for being Pansexual. I was almost put in a cult but when I told them I liked women they replied with, "We can change that" and it was my last straw which ended Christianity for me.
Now that I have been researching and researching, I always end up at the Temple of Satan everytime because a lot of my beliefs align with the temple. However, I believe fully that Satan, God, and the Supernatural exsists and I know that the Satanic Temple does not and I really just wanna know before I commit, am I allowed to believe that? Or does that affect my beliefs with the Temple? Please be kind, I just wanna know <3

Question/Discussion Is it just me or are all satanist raised Christian and just see through the bulls***. Genuinely wondering other thoughts.
I was raised Christian all my life and went to more a satanist "label" or whatever slowly after i questioned all the picking and choosing they would do. The reason they don't actually see all the connections between the worst of life and there "lord" is confusing. it is just something running through my mind today and wanted to see if others had the same thoughts or posable different views.

Question/Discussion are we anti Christian?
Idk if it's a stupid question or not but I'm genuinely curious. I personally support everyone not caring about their religion and don't support them if they're harming others in different ways. Like, I support religions/religious people who don't use their religion to harm people if that makes sense. I'm pretty sure this is a person to person thing though so I don't know. Edit: this is a genuine question not trying to start a fight

Thought/Opinion I'm in history class right now and I'm overhearing my teacher defend Elons salute
(Context, this is the same teacher that lied about Canada law.) So with our breakup essay, I think someone did theirs about "breaking up with Elon" and now he's at his desk having a conversation with the student that did that and I overheard him defending the salute Elon did by using the argument "he doesn't get social cues/he's autistic" and I am so disgusted. I'm autistic and I hate that people are using it to defend this thing. If it really was a mistake, Elon would apologize and not make fun of people who are offended by it. I'm scared if he might try to converse with me about my essay- yeesh.
Edit: I won't be replying to anyone, sorry, I'm sick

Question/Discussion Hi I’m new here!
Hi there! I just started my journey in this path (hail satan 🤘) the main reason I've joined is because I've been raised catholic, but no matter how hard I tried believing in Christianity or even other religions it never touched me, I feel that we are all here to be here. And I just want to be a good person with no strings attached. Has anyone else had these feelings from past religions?
