In fact even many christians support them on that because it is so important even to some of them. They also fight against Pseudoscience which is great because way too many people are being fooled by that stuff even some atheists. They also fight for other things like womens rights, etc. They do great things.
What do any of their goals have to do with Satan? Why do they use that label?
From their website: WHAT DOES SATAN MEAN TO TST?
Satan is a symbol of the Eternal Rebel in opposition to arbitrary authority, forever defending personal sovereignty even in the face of insurmountable odds. Satan is an icon for the unbowed will of the unsilenced inquirer – the heretic who questions sacred laws and rejects all tyrannical impositions. Our metaphoric representation is the literary Satan best exemplified by Milton and the Romantic Satanists from Blake to Shelley to Anatole France.
