Well at least one religious organization is protecting democracy..

For those interested, here are the seven arbitrary tenets of this cult:

1. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

2. The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

3. One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

4. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

5. Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

6. People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

7. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

it'll be like a Trump rally, really uplifting.

It's atheistic humanism. It's not as much of a religion as it is an anti-religion that seeks equal footing with Christianity and other religions in terms of public prominence.

There is no such thing as justice. It's like saying 'We should all strive for goodness instead of badness.'
Clarence Darrow realized this.

Just to clarify, people who are members of Satanic “churches” aren’t really Satanists. They are atheists. The closest thing to a God that they believe in is their own selves.

Satanic cults that actually do worship Satan as a deity are not to be confused with atheist attention seekers who use Satan as a way to draw attention to themselves via shock value.
