Super broad question, but I want to ask if there are other communities similar in one aspect or another to the Satanic Temple?

But then… Why go? Real question, not being sarcastic. I just don’t understand the point I think.
Not op, but some people seek the community that religion provides.
There are many benefits to having a community of like-minded folks. You get to discuss philosophy and that helps you refine your own worldview. You can find potential friends or lovers. You can help them; they can help you.
I think for a fair bit of folks, atheism doesn’t mean lack of desire to engage in theological discussion.
My partner and I both identify as atheist and often discuss religious ideas and read pro and anti religious materials.
If nothing else, it’s good to have an idea what the philosophies are and if you’re lacking in people to share and discuss with, these types of “churches” can be a great opportunity to meet similar and potentially like (or opposite) minded people to discuss and debate with.
My 2 cents at least.
