Quote:The Satanic Temple statue is back in Concord
The Satanic Temple, a nontheistic religious group that espouses separation of church and state and humanistic values, placed this occult deity statue on the State House Plaza a week after vandals had destroyed an identical one last week.

Quote:Outrage as Minnesota Satanists Given Holiday Display at State Capitol
The Satanist question has sparked debate in political discourse and the legal system for years. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion and prohibits the government from establishing a set religion. Courts have interpreted this to mean that certain religions cannot be given preferable treatment over others.
The group is often met with pushback from Christians, who view Satanism as an illegitimate religion and a blasphemous group that should not be entitled to First Amendment protections. They say the Satanic Temple, rather than a religion, is more of a provocateur group whose members don't necessarily believe in Satan.
The Satanic Temple, however, argues the government cannot pick and choose which religions are legitimate, and that religion does not have to be tied to the supernatural to be a sincere belief.
The display features a phoenix and text from the Satanic ritual The Mass of the Phoenix.

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"
