Plot summary
The Satanic Temple starts as a publicity stunt by Lucien Greaves and Malcolm Jarry. It praises Florida Governor Rick Scott for supporting school prayer, but the praise is sarcastic and aimed at his hypocrisy. The provocation grows into a non-theistic religious group. Members campaign for religious pluralism, with a focus on the Statue of Baphomet. They seek to place it near a Ten Commandments monument, arguing that Christian privilege amounts to discrimination. The group also supports reproductive freedom and rights for the LGBTQ community, mixing mischief with social justice and political egalitarianism.
