Satanic Temple unveils Baphomet statue, protesters say 'Satan has no place' in Detroit

[vostok]

Dozens of protesters gathered in Detroit to protest the unveiling ceremony of a controversial bronze Baphomet statue by the Satanic Temple. When the one-ton goat-headed statue was finally exposed, supporters welcomed it, and cheered "Hail Satan!"
The Satanic Temple kept the location of the unveiling of the colossal monument secret until the last moment, emailing the information to ticket holders only. The group received threats that protesters would allegedly blow it up or burn it down, according to the Raw Story.

It's the second part, or at least from my observation. Some just like the counter-cultural feeling of Satanism. But I suppose that's up to the individual. Some treat it as a religion, others don't.

Satanism is big in the Norwegian Black Metal scene, but mostly for shock value - ironically, that's the type of music Sven likes to listen to. I'm watching you Sven.

However, in the 90s there were some incidents too:

Today we've opted for a new deity though:

They don't actually believe in satan, they're mostly atheists, and use satanism to mock religion in general.

I don't know that much about this cult, buddy. May God rebuke him.

It isn't a cult silly. It's by a bunch of separation of church and state people (probably with ACLU help).

That's what i thought.

You may not believe in God and worship the devil, as it were for fun. You will understand that it was for real, when you die.
