Curious as to how long after learning of TST did it take you to call yourself a Satanist. Immediate? Gradual? Thanks.

I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

There are lots of Satanists who aren't members of TST, and, as you noted yourself, not everyone in TST calls themselves a Satanist. So, being a Satanist is independent of membership in TST.
Guys, I just picked a term to mean member of TST, that's all. Nothing too deep. My question is just asking when someone would consider themselves a member, not just someone interested or aligned.
I guess I don't understand what you're asking. You can consider yourself a member once you've filled out that form and given them your email address. You're either a member or you aren't.
Maybe what you're asking is: When did you consider yourself a TST Satanist? IOW, someone whose religion is Satanism and their church is TST.
This is literally what I asked. That's just "When did you officially consider yourself a member of TST?", my question, in slightly different wording. I feel like I am on reddit right now.
That may be when you did, which is a valid answer to my question. Some may have different answers. I am interested in all answers.
