They don’t believe in a supernatural power, but they see themselves as a serious religion with serious beliefs. From your link:
‘[Satanism is] a narrative structure by which we contextualize our lives and works. …[it is] a body of symbolism and religious practice — a sense of identity, culture, community, and shared values.’
They have seven Tenets, none of which are directly about other religions - although one does mention being opposed to ‘distorting scientific facts’. Most are about compassion and individuality.
‘Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought.’
Agree with them or not, but they see themselves as much more than some kind of shell religion to undermine Religious Exemption statutes
Yeah, but their whole point is that this doesn’t undermine their status as a religion. It doesn’t make them ‘a joke or parody religion’, which is the phrase you initially replied to:
They don’t exist as a semi-serious troll organisation to undermine Christianity is my point, they take their beliefs and religious status seriously.
