I had heard about them originally during the attention they had gotten for some political activism a few years ago. Like any other person, I thought they genuinely worshipped or believed in a Satan, which wasn’t compatible with me as an atheist. I don’t think I took the time to learn more about them from there.
Then more recently, I came across them again. I began to read into what and who they are, and I aligned with their values. I spent a long time just reading and reading, watching ‘Hail Satan?’ and member testimonials. It’s basically atheism 2.0 for me. A way to do, be, and represent more. I am from Iowa, so the desecration of the display also caught my attention further.
