Church of Satan Sigil of Baphomet
Today in the USA we celebrate the founding of what was intended to be a secular republic. When properly functioning, it serves as an ongoing experiment towards attaining a societal framework allowing individuals to determine their own destiny. This is achieved via a social contract offering equity under the law which, to a certain degree, promotes meritocracy while eschewing the mob rule of democracy.
We Satanists value freedom and justice, and so we are proud to salute the bedrock rational principles and those brave and wise people who embraced them to establish this nation. But freedom does require vigilance, not acquiescence to those who wish to limit your liberty based on their supernaturalist obsessions. Be ever-alert, fellow secularists!
