Satanists in Massachusetts have announced plans to start after-school clubs in elementary schools across America.
The Associated Press reports the Satanic Temple has contacted nine public school districts in the U.S. this week seeking to start after-school Satan programs – and that in eight of those districts, Child Evangelism Fellowship operates after-school Good News Clubs.
Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel says Satanists have the same rights as Christian groups to use the school facilities for their meetings. However, he says at this point he’s not overly concerned about the Satan clubs.
“I think … this is more of a media splash than it is reality,” he says. “I frankly don’t think they will be successful. And I don’t think anyone is going to come to this group’s meetings, or certainly I don’t think the group will stay around very long.”
Staver says the Satanists’ sole purpose seems to have schools ban the Child Evangelism Fellowship clubs from meeting after school.
“The goal of this so-called Satanist club is not really to meet on campus,” he tells OneNewsNow. “It’s to cause a stir, to throw up dust and to stop the Good News Clubs that are sponsored around the country by Child Evangelism Fellowship, which Liberty Counsel represents. We’ve never lost a case with regards to these Good News Clubs, and they just simply don’t like it.”
The Satanists say their goal isn’t about promoting the worship of the Devil but about promoting scientific rationality, which they believe provides the best measure of reality over religion.
AP identifies the districts targeted by the Satanic Temple’s efforts as being in Missouri, Maryland, Georgia, California, Florida, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Arizona.

I laugh to myself each very time I read about some *** trying to make a bigger one of themselves
let them try. I am very sure that very few if any schools will allow it because what parent is going to be known as allowing their kids to be a member of this group or club? Heck even the Atheists wont allow it because they don’t believe in any form of a deity in the first place. And any parent that allows their kids to be a member would be ostracized in the neighborhood and at their work place.
So go for it Satanists, and then get ready when the rest of the world laughs at you when you fall flat on your face.
The group is actually agnostics and atheists, calling themselves Satanists appears to be mainly symbolic and to get attention. According to their website the club is to promote critical reasoning, independent thinking, fun, and free thought.
You are probably right about them not succeeding. Why subject their children to all the Christian “love” and “tolerance” if they don’t have to.
Today adult school teachers are normalizing homosexuality, transgenderism, promiscuous sex and abortion to innocent, impressionable schoolchildren, by Government Legislation. These are the tenets of Secular Humanism. Homosexuals cannot have children of their own because of their sexual preference, but they have politically united to have their lifestyle legalized, and normalized to schoolchildren, so they can increase their numbers. This creates a nation of Obama’s through school indoctrination. Do you really believe Secular Humanist, and Secular Christian Parent’s really give a rip? Secular Christian is an oxymoron.
When the majority of our parents, and school teachers had the same values, our school teachers led students in The Lord’s Prayer, and The Ten Commandments were the majorities values. Guns did not commit crimes, only the minority who did not value the sanctity of life. Today this is the majority because of Secular Humanist values in Government, Law and Education. Political ineptness in choosing righteous representative has brought us to this Babalon.
I might get slammed for this but i would rather they NOT be given the chance to even try..
Ituser, I hope you aren’t suggesting that the government can pick what clubs parents can and cannot put their children in. That would give it the power to make some groups “more” equal and others “less” equal.
Don’t worry,these after school clubs probably won’t last long. Christians view Muslims more favorably than atheists, they have to sign permission slips, the kids are in elementary school and it’s sponsored by a group with Satan in the name. Most parents won’t subject their children to the “Christian” response.
The largest Satanist club is in the White House, Congress and Senate..
Why not? The satanic government-run, tax-funded welfare schools in USmerica started in Massachusetts, why not the second wave of evil from the same place?
Mr. Magoo, er, O’bama, will there ever be any Jobs?
The worship of satan has always puzzled me. God created satan, who rebelled against God’s authority, and got himself kicked out of Heaven. Eternity in the lake of fire is his destiny. Why would anyone want to worship, or follow him to that destiny?
According to their website they don’t worship Satan. It appears to be more symbolic to questioning Gods existence and good at getting headlines.
“The Satanists say their goal isn’t about promoting the worship of the Devil but about promoting scientific rationality”
Yeah and I started an organization to promote STEM careers which are vital for economic prosperity, called the Bungee Jumping Unicorn Flavored Platypus Club.
What the ?????
So in their minds Satan equals science? Got it. I suppose if the Satanists’ goals made any sense to me I should be more worried.
