INDEPENDENCE DAY Today we mark the anniversary of The Declaration of Independence, when we traitorous colonials told the monarch of Britain that the 13 states were united and free of foreign rule. Our founders intended this new union to be a secular republic—a very rare thing! Americans now popularly use this day, or the nearby weekend, as a means to enjoy a summer holiday with convivial gatherings, barbecues, and evening fireworks displays. Commercial enterprises lure folks toward capitalist excess with varied discounts for their wares and services. While we Satanists partake, or refrain, from all of this as we please, […]

INDEPENDENCE DAY Today in the USA we mark the “birthday” of what our founders intended to be a secular republic. Americans popularly use this day, or the nearby weekend, as a means to enjoy a summer holiday with convivial gatherings, barbecues, and evening fireworks displays while commercial enterprises lure folks towards capitalist excess with varied sales for their wares and services. While we partake or refrain from all of this as we please, Satanists also make time to reflect on the significance of the manifestation of this nation whose expressed values have favored self-determination for its citizens. Satanism champions freedom, […]

Our guest will be Magister Bill M., who will discuss equality in math and how it […]
Governmental Evangelism? Presidential hopeful John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, rashly proposed creating a governmental agency to promote “Judeo-Christian” values as part of his projected approach to national security should he be elected. At his National Press Club speech, Kasich stated that he’d create “a new agency that has a clear mandate to promote the core, Judeo-Christian Western values that we and our friends and allies share: the values of human rights, the values of democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of association.“ Fortunately the constitutionality of such a nonsensical concept was swiftly raised even amidst the media frenzy […]
As the American revolution was underway and having made a clean break from the Church of England, the Founding Fathers drafted a radical new concept in the US Constitution, America’s founding social contract. It would completely eliminate ties between religion and state while paradoxically ensuring that all beliefs and opinions could be protected through the law. So important was this idea that they drafted it as America’s first and termed it “The Establishment Clause.” Thus we can see the link between Americanism and Satanism, as America’s ideals were to establish a “Neo-Darwinian arena of ideas” as described in The Satanic Scriptures.

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 […]
