I’ll be completely honest. Many years ago, when I heard about the Satanic temple, I thought it was a goof. When some Christian group wanted a religious statue in a public park, the satanists put a goat thingy in the park too. I thought they were trolling, even though the word “trolling” didn’t exist yet. I never, ever, thought it was serious and real. Turns out it is. I thought it was a bunch of goofballs laughing it up over a case of beer, trying to mess with people. I thought they were more about separation of church and state, and using a goat demon to make their point, while also making themselves chuckle. Nope.
