These articles fail to point out the reason the Iowa Capitol has a satanic display is because it also has a christian display.
The Satanic Temple exists only to proposition the government to allow the Temple to do similar things they allow christians to do. They don’t proposition the government to do anything unless a christian group has done it first. If what they’re doing upsets you–that’s the point. The idea is to show how the government shouldn’t be allowing any form of religious displays or religious arguments.
Also, it gets pointed out all the time, but members of the Satanic Temple don’t actually worship satan. Their name and symbols are simply meant to offend christians.
