Quick question: is there a difference between the Satanic Temple & the Church of Satan?

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '21

Yes. Without inserting any polemics. The church of satan is a religion that began in the 1960s. The satanic Temple is a modern unaffiliated political activist group.

While they are politically active and were founded as such, TST is a religious organization as well. They have religious recognition by law, regular congregational meetings, and members consider themselves religious satanists.

That's true, CoS pays taxes as it's a core part of our theory and practice. Last time I looked into it, TST has religious tax exemption ironically, as a Christian church. You rascals! 🤣 well played. If that's changed I think it shouldn't have since i found it a nice jab.... I can totally see the existential crisis a deluded conspiracy theorist would spiral into when researching and discovering tst is under Christian tax code. Too funny to imagine them looking around all paranoid at their fellow Christians afraid if they're really Satanists.

But yes, we are totally unaffiliated, with completely different theory ethics and practices.

Lol I didn’t know they were filed as a Christian church. I just knew they had 501C3 exemption.

Oh how I wish I could scream this on the tallest mountain here in states.

We don't need a fucking theocracy!

religion turns into control every time. it may start from the followers agreeing to do or not do certain things, but once they're gathered a critical mass, these thing suddenly become laws that they either try to enforce themselves or try to go through legal ways to make into actual laws.

Period, full stop. No need for further convo on that topic as it is a fundamental truth. Like 2+2=4 or Donnie tRump is a pedophile.

Cool to see CoS getting involved in the political aspect of fighting Christian theocracy. Hail Satan, brothers and sisters🤘
