    Why do these organizations exist?

      I don’t know about the Church of Satan, but the TST exists to mock religion, expose the hypocrisies of the religious, and promote human rights.

        I don’t have anything against it, just wondering about their motives.

          Like another comment said, your best source is going to be their own websites. But from an outsider’s perspective, their motive seems to be taking the good ideas from the Abrahamic religions (love your neighbor, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, etc) and replacing some of their worse tendencies (close-minded devotion to YOUR interpretation of God and anything less will send you to Hell) with their polar opposites: “Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world” (Tenet V from The Satanic Temple’s website)

          Why should Christians have a monopoly on fellowship and community? TST can be a secular, humanist way for people to be part of a community without all the baggage of religion and dogmatic thought.

            They shouldn’t, nor any religion should. Again, I don’t have anything against it I just wanted to know how it formed and what are it’s beliefs, most religion have a god or some shit I just asked what are theirs.

      Do you have any idea how many variations of Christianity there are? Do you question why there are so many? Or variations of Islam? Or Buddhism?

      It’s just a silly question.

        I don’t know them all but I know a few. Yes I do question why there so many and it most likely has to do with money, power or some idealistic bullshit. Again, I have nothing against the organization I was just wondering abouttheirr beliefs
