Curious as to how long after learning of TST did it take you to call yourself a Satanist. Immediate? Gradual? Thanks.

I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

Because it is a religion. If religions are like any other organization, why do you want them separated from the state specifically? There are many other types of organizations that interact or participate with the state, but somehow you want to separate religions.
Where did I say that I wanted them separate from the state? I only say that every religion should have equal rights. The state shouldn't favor one religion over another.
That's one of the goals of the TST, to separate state from religion. Or at least that's what I've been told by some TST followers.
I wouldn't believe anything about TST based on hearsay, because a lot of people are misinformed.
