https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Temple

The Satanic Temple (TST) is a non-theistic religious organization and new religious movement[1] that is primarily based in the United States,[8] with additional congregations in Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom.[9][10] Co-founded by Lucien Greaves, the organization's spokesperson, and Malcolm Jarry,[11][12] the organization uses Satanic imagery to promote civil rights, egalitarianism, religious skepticism, social justice, secularism, and the separation of church and state,[1][2] supporting their mission "to encourage benevolence and empathy [among all people]."[13]

The Satanic Temple does not believe in a supernatural Satan;[1] instead it employs the literary Satan as a metaphor to promote pragmatic skepticism, rational reciprocity, personal autonomy, and curiosity.[12] Satan is thus used as a symbol representing "the eternal rebel" against arbitrary authority and social norms.[19][20] TST adherents generally refer to their religion as "Satanism" or "Modern Satanism",[21] while others refer to TST's religion as "Compassionate Satanism" or "Seven Tenet Satanism".[22][23][/quote]

So no belief in a higher power, no belief in a supernatural entity, just anti-authority and humanist. [/quote]
Still a religion, whether you want to believe it in or not.

So you are against religious freedoms for all? Only the ones you approve of?[/quote]
