Satan s Lawyers Try Christian-Right Tactics to Erect Winged Goat
In Minnesota they ve sued to erect a statue they call overtly Satanic, but tastefully so. In Arizona they want to bless a City Council meeting, as they say theists have done for years.
Across the country, the Satanic Temple, an IRS-recognized atheist church with some 300,000 devotees, is waging a legal battle it says is for religious liberty, using tactics that have proved effective for Christian groups. The church, which preaches both empathy and the freedom to offend, has filed at least seven lawsuits in as many states, challenging the limits on what qualifies as religious expression. It says it s looking for equal treatment in the public square. Its opponents say it s just trolling Christianity and calling it a high-minded struggle for justice.
