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!

I think it’s both, to be frank.

Yes there is the “evil bogeyman” aspect to it, at the same time the projection is strong.

I know what the Christian faith has done and what has been done in its name but I myself am not a violent person and wouldn’t do anything violent towards them.

This man was violent and believes in the evil bogeyman and I reckon that his projection of what he’d do coupled with the bogeyman is what drove him to act.

I believe the ACTS were seeing now are a product of projection along with folks who think like them shouting louder.

satan has ALWAYS been the bogeyman to them.
