Satanism is Americanism! Then and Now On this upcoming Independence Day some of us will look back at these words by our founder Anton LaVey and reflect on what’s changed and what remains the same. After being confronted with the factions vying for influence over our society, many conservatives have unfortunately chosen God over The Flag, betraying the clear secularism of our Founding Fathers. Our nation again finds itself in a struggle between partisan extremes from which I trust a new clear-thinking generation will arise to cut through and find a Third Side, embracing and continuing the progress we’ve made […]

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.
