Community members in a Tennessee school district want to banish Satan from their children’s halls after the formation of a new club was announced.
The After School Satan Club (ASSC) wants to establish a branch in Chimneyrock elementary school in the Memphis-Shelby county schools (MSCS) district.
The ASSC is a federally recognized nonprofit organization and national after-school program with local chapters across the US. The club is associated with the Satanic Temple, though it claims it is secular and “promotes self-directed education by supporting the intellectual and creative interests of students”.
The Satanic Temple makes it clear its members do not actually worship the devil or believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural. Instead Satan is used as a symbol of free will, humanism and anti-authoritarianism.

Wait, are you referring to the well documented, sprawling history of child sexual abuse committed by clergy and covered up by the church?
You talking about Christian churches right?
I’m talking about the edgy title of the club which competely contradicts its description.
I know many Christians don’t read the Bible but I didn’t know atheists can’t read at all.
Nobody thinks you’re making a good faith argument here, dingus.
Be gone, troll.
Irony
I think you’ve completely missed the point. It is in bad faith, and the fact that people get mad about it demonstrates Christian hypocrisy.
Just because YOU don’t like their name, or why they chose it, doesn’t make it bad faith.
It highlights your hypocrisy.

We’re not talking about Republicans
Statistically speaking its usually a bible thumper thats also a kiddie humper
Q: What do you call people who believe in the existence of Satan?
A: Christians.
I mean anything will sound insane once you stripped all meaningful context from the situation. Clearly you can see the difference here now, right? Like even if these people did worship satan who cares? They should have religious freedoms right?
And the worshippers of the flying noodlemonster believe in the noodlemonster too? No of course not. These are political groups that exists to point out the hipocrisy in the understanding and application of the first amendment or similar laws in other countries (mostly favorably to christianity, disfavorably to other religions).
The flying noodle monster isn’t an actual existing group. Satanic temples are a real thing.
It is. And they take their faith just as seriously as the satanic temple

After school accuser club isn’t associated with Christianity but is actually there to call out their hypocrisy? Weird huh
It’s not called “secular philosophy club” it’s called “satanic temple”.

What? It’s sad watching people do what you do on both sides.
Just say your words, man. Make your own arguments. Don’t be like “THEY REALLY MEAN THIS: XXX” and then it’s a bunch of bullshit just to support your agenda.
It’s a tell-tale sign that someone is reddit-brained beyond belief.
Do you think The Satanic Temple actually believes in Satan, or are you just upset that they call themselves that despite not believing in Him?
You are a dumb fuckwit.
So should we put in jail kids from the cited Christian Evangelical Bible Club because they believe in a book which exalts sexism and rape, or are they allowed to play the “well, actually” card because they’re a majority?
Sorry man, it’s probably not gonna go well for the folks you are siding with (thankfully) based on recent precedent.

You should reflect on the fact that the ASS club has essentially laid out idiot bait and your ended up taking it.
Consider that for today
