The Satanic Temple is a non-profit organization founded in 2013 that promotes secularism and social justice. It uses the symbol of Satan as a metaphor for questioning authority and challenging oppressive systems. The temple advocates for the separation of church and state and engages in various political and social campaigns. Members of the Satanic Temple do not believe in a literal Satan but instead embrace a philosophy that emphasizes reason, compassion, and individualism. The organization often participates in public demonstrations and legal actions to promote religious freedom and highlight issues such as reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ equality.
