#satanictemple

I'm working on my new idea for a non-theistic religion, inspired by The Satanic Temple. Some key ideas:

1. The primary symbol of the new religion is Prometheus, the Titan of Fire from Greek Mythology. In the myths, he stole fire from the Gods and gave it to humanity. He was severely punished by Zeus, but he still taught humankind civilization. He represents courage, curiosity, freedom, enlightenment, scientific knowledge, and much more.

2. As 'The Satanic Temple' focuses on the issue of religious freedom, 'The Promethean Order' would focus on the popularization of knowledge to the public. We would promote knowledge of science, philosophy, and culture to the general public.

3. Rather than strict atheism, The Order might embrace a non-dogmatic approach.

4. There would be a full set of ritual practices and festivals.

5. The religion would be run in a democratic manner, possibly modeled after the Presbyterian Church.

The Satanic Temple (TST) is a modern nontheistic religion founded in 2013. TST satanists are modern satanists: they are atheistic and do NOT worship the devil or even believe he exists.

When I first heard of TST, I had a lot of prejudices because I thought they believe in Satan. And when I found out they don't, I obviously wondered why it is called The Satanic Temple. That is, because Satan is used as a symbol for critical thinking and eternal rebel against arbitrary authority.

The seven tenets of the Satanic Temple:

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.

Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Please do not confound TST with the Church of Satan. It is another nontheistic religion founded in 1966. However their founder Anton LaVey believed in magic and promoted hedonism, authoritarianism and social darwinism while TST stands for empathy, benevolence and social justice.
