Satanists Infiltrate Ohio School Program, Create 'HAIL' Meetings to Counter Bible Study
Satanic Temple representative June Everett said HAIL is a counter-movement against LifeWise Academy, a Christian released-time program available at Edgewood Elementary, WOSU reported.
"We really are no fan of it," Everett said. "We do believe strongly in religious pluralism and religious freedom. But we would absolutely go away if they stopped doing their program."
"But until they can, you know -- as long as they continue to offer this to the public schools and demand that they be in the public schools, we will be there as well," she said.
Four students have enrolled in HAIL so far, according to WSYX in Columbus, Ohio.
"As long as there's one child wanting to attend and one family wanting to send their child, that's all that we care about. We're not in this for the numbers," Everett said. "We are not devil worshipers," Everett said. "Different Satanists across the United States will give you different answers depending on how they personally believe. But as a whole, we are non-theistic, meaning we don't believe in any supernatural deities, and that includes, you know, God or Satan."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
