Ah, thank you! But I'm afraid you may have the wrong idea: The Satanic Temple (which I am a part of) is in all but name a secular humanitarian organization - formed in opposition to the various religious authoritarian movements in the US. The trappings of satanism are only there to serve as a way to bait hypocrisy. I'm only interested in this topic from a cultural standpoint, as I'm not personally religious. I do appreciate the thought though!
Well, aside from news, I don't know anything about any practices of satanism, but fwiw, the tenants don't clash with my understanding of Christianity, gnosticism, or Judaism, which is very incomplete, at best!
