Aliens want to communicate and they decide to use you and your personality as the base model for all humans. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

I met a member. And he explained to me that they are pretty much atheists but from the point of the law they enjoy religious protections.
Basically if you call yourself atheist, you won't get any religious protections, because you don't have any religion. Everyone knows that FSM is a joke, so that wouldn't fly either. So they created a religion. They chose Satan, to get expected reaction from devoted Christians, they don't believe in Satan though (unlike wackos from the Church of Satan). You can read their 7 tenets, which sound quite reasonable: https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets
This is actually really reasonable. What are the “religious protections” you speak of?
Things that you normally don't think about. For example if you tried to get a job and the owner refused to hire you, because you don't believe in his religion, you can sue that they are discriminating. If you are atheist, that won't work, because you don't have a religion.
If a certain group claims to be offended by something, because it affects their religion, atheists have no say, because they have no religion.
There's no tax exemptions, money that might be directed to religious institutions won't go to atheist organizations, because again that's not a religion and so on.
As for the other commenter's, about putting Capitol displays and after school programs is meant to emphasize separation of church and state and religion in schools. The "abortion rituals" are for fighting recent SCOTUS ruling, that it apparently infringes their religious freedoms and prevents practicing their religion (kind of contra to Christians imposing their beliefs on others). Though, with current SCOTUS and states that are banning abortion, I don't know if it does much.
This is wonderful how had I not heard of this before
called fighting fire with fire ;)
They put cool shit up in state capitols (see: snaketivity), have "after school satan" clubs, abortion rituals. All sorts of shit to use the cover of religion to assert freedoms.
That sounds amazing
It's a pretty legit movement. I have met some more 'witchy' types that take it too seriously, but meh. Not hurting anyone so who cares.
I care, but in a that’s great and I wish I had thought of that way.
Well, I mean that I like the TST, but the witchy nonsense feels kinda ick.
