I hate anything that invokes mythology as a default, but I get that they’re doing it to butthurt religious fundamentalists, so I’ve come around to the whole Satan church thing

You are confusing the Church of Satan (actual Satanists and mythology) with the Satanic Temple.

With unfortunate regularity - and much to our chagrin - The Satanic Temple is confused with an earlier organization, the Church of Satan, founded by Anton Szandor LaVey in the 1960s.

The Satanic Temple is a non-theistic organization...

...the group views Satan neither as a supernatural being, nor a symbol of evil, but instead relies on the literary Satan as a symbol representing "the eternal rebel" against arbitrary authority and social norms, or as a metaphor to promote pragmatic skepticism, rational reciprocity, personal autonomy, and curiosity.
