You keep saying that the proximity of the demon next to the commandments would be interpreted as a message of hate from the satanists (or atheists) to Judeo-Christians, but wouldn't the opposite hold true as well? That the proximity of the commandments next to the demon is a message of hate aimed at the satanists?
Because, right now, you're clearly looking at it through the lens of your own bias, and you haven't shown a willingness to look at it a different way.
I actually addressed this, probably while you were typing your post lol:

This is true. In which case I wouldn't be for putting a Christian symbol right next to a Satanic one if the Satanic one was there first.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
