An alternative interpretation of religious Satanism was offered by the Satanic Temple (TST), established in the United States in 2012. While sharing the Church of Satan’s claim that Satan does not literally exist, TST rejected LaVey’s right-libertarian philosophy in favour of a left-leaning progressive one. TST became well-known for stunts in defense of legal abortion access and same-sex marriage, consciously challenging the hegemonic role of Christianity in much of American society. Its members outlined a cohesive worldview emphasizing bodily autonomy and the embrace of compassion, empathy, and reason as well as performing rituals to mark major events in a person’s life or to celebrate rebellion against unjust authority.Lewis, James R.; Tollefsen, Inga B.

See the patterns and fit things together as you want the pieces to fall into place. Do not be swayed by herd constraints—know that you are working on another level entirely from the rest of the world. Vargo, Samuel (November 4, 2015).
