After School Satan is an after school program project of The Satanic Temple (TST), a non-theistic United States organization based in Salem, Massachusetts, [2] and is sponsored by Reason Alliance LTD, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. [3] It was created as an alternative to Christian-based after-school groups, specifically at schools that host the Evangelical Good News Club. [4] [5] [6] TST only starts a club when it is requested by a parent at a school where the Good News Club or similar organization is already operating.

"We're like vampires," said June Everett, After School Satan Club National Campaign Director. "We only go where we're invited." [7] The program neither teaches about Satanism nor attempts to convert club-goers; it instead teaches about rationalism and scientific discovery. It is against the beliefs of the Satanic Temple to teach religious practice in schools. The Satanic Temple rejects supernatural beliefs and views Satan as a literary symbol of rebellion against authority, not as a supernatural entity. [8]

In 2016, TST announced it was pursuing After School Satan Clubs in select cities where TST had congregations, including Atlanta, Los Angeles, Pensacola, Tucson, Tacoma, Portland, Washington, D.C., Springfield, Missouri; and Taylorsville, Utah. [6] [9] [10] [11] Eventually, three clubs were formed, in Tacoma, Portland, and Taylorsville. [12] [13] [14] [15] The clubs struggled with funding issues and with finding volunteers, and by the fall of 2017, former ASSC National Campaign Director Chalice Blythe confirmed in an interview there were no active clubs. [16] [17] [18] [19]

In January 2022, ASSC began anew with the launching of four clubs, starting with one in Moline, Illinois. After meeting for two school years, the club received pushback from the Moline-Coal Valley Board of Education, which attempted to move the group off campus for the 2023–24 school year, while allowing the Good News Club to remain. After four months of negotiations, it was agreed that the ASSC would stay on the elementary school campus where it had held its previous meetings. [20] The club is now in its fourth year, with monthly meetings scheduled through May 2025, with a focus on science experiments, craft projects, and card games. [21]

Besides Moline, clubs are currently being operated in: Tahachapi, California; [22] Lebanon, Connecticut; [23] San Clemente, California; [24] and Cordova, Tennessee. [25]

Clubs previously met at schools in: Delta County, Colorado; [26] Endwell, New York; [27] Wilmington, Ohio; [28] Eaton, Ohio; Chesapeake, Virginia; [29] and Lebanon, Ohio. [30] [31] Some school districts have chosen to stop renting to any outside groups as a result of ASSC's request to use its facilities. [32] [33]

In addition to After School Satan Clubs, TST operates the Hellion Academy of Independent Learning (HAIL). [34] It is identical to the ASSC except that it meets off-site during school hours. TST hosts HAIL groups in: Dillsburg, Pennsylvania; Bristol, Tennessee; and Marysville, Ohio. [35] TST also supports student-run High School Satan Clubs in: Olathe, Kansas; Georgetown, Texas; and Michigan City, Indiana. [36]

In 2024 The Satanic Temple partnered with the Secular Student Alliance, another organization promoting secular values among students, in supporting the After School Satan clubs. [37]

In February 2023, TST and the Virginia ACLU reached an agreement with Chesapeake Public Schools that required the district to permit an After School Satan Club to meet at B.M. Williams Primary School. The agreement forbade the school district from charging the club security fees not charged to other organizations, mandated the refund of illegally imposed charges, and required board policy be revised to ensure that all requesting organizations were treated equally. [38]

In November 2023, The Satanic Temple reached a settlement with the Saucon Valley School District in Hellertown, Pennsylvania, after district officials forbade the ASSC from meeting on school grounds. The settlement came half a year after a federal court ordered the school district to allow the ASSC to hold meetings at the Saucon Valley Middle School and required the district to pay $200,000 in attorney's fees. [39]

In July 2024, The Satanic Temple and the Freedom From Religion Foundation reached a settlement with Memphis-Shelby County Schools to recoup more than $15,000 in fees that had been charged to ASSC and to no other club. The agreement also required the district to provide ASSC with equal access and treatment, and to hold no further press conferences about the club. [40]

History

The Supreme Court decision Good News Club v. Milford Central School held that when a government operates a "limited public forum" it may not discriminate against speech that takes place within that forum on the basis of the viewpoint it expresses. The "limited public forum" in the case was referring to after school programs, that the schools provided space for, but were not run by the school. [41]

After School Satan was created by The Satanic Temple in July 2016 to ensure that equal representation for all religions is upheld in public schools, and religious freedom and plurality is respected. Since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2001 that religious groups are permitted to establish clubs to proselytize after hours using public school classrooms, the Christian-based Good News Club has established thousands of such clubs. In response, The Satanic Temple began a campaign to establish its own clubs across the United States. According to one organizer, "Whenever religion enters the public sphere, like the Good News Club at public schools, we take action to ensure that more than one religious voice is represented, and that is our intent with the After School Satan Club." [1] [5]

Blythe explained, "The After School Satan Club curriculum was only offered in school districts where local chapters of The Satanic Temple could manage and maintain them." [42]

The clubs strive to provide students with the critical thinking skills necessary to be able to make important life decisions for themselves. They emphasize a scientific and rationalist, non-superstitious world view, and oppose indoctrination into other-worldly belief systems. [5] [4]

According to The Satanic Temple and After School Satan's co-founder and spokesperson, Lucien Greaves:

It’s critical that children understand that there are multiple perspectives on all issues, and that they have a choice in how they think... "Satan" is just a "metaphorical construct" intended to represent the rejection of all forms of tyranny over the human mind. [43]

and adds

We are only doing this because Good News Clubs have created a need for this. If Good News Clubs would operate in churches rather than public schools, that need would disappear. But our point is that if you let one religion into the public schools you have to let others, otherwise it’s an establishment of religion. [44]

For their part, Child Evangelism Fellowship has said they welcome the Temple and urge school administrators to approve After School Satan clubs to "call their bluff" since the clubs often falter and peter out on their own while also boosting the Good News Clubs. [45] Moises Esteves, executive director of CEF, told the Christian Broadcasting Network in December 2023:

As a matter of fact, sometimes it does the opposite [of shutting our clubs up] because Christians that are not aware about the work we do in the public schools they’re not aware of child evangelism Fellowship, they go, "Hey we like what you guys are doing. Can we help?" So it helps us have more clubs. [46]

In response to a follow up question, Esteves further explained,

So [The Satanic Temple runs] to the media. Part of their strategy is to make a big scary splash, right? Well, when the media jumps into the story, then they want to hear the other side. They want to hear our side. So they come and ask questions and so on." [47]

Activities

After School Satan Clubs "incorporate games, projects, and thinking exercises that help children understand how we know what we know about our world and our universe." [4] [48] Satanic Temple spokesman Finn Rezz said the club "would focus on science and rational thinking," promoting "benevolence and empathy for everybody" – while providing an alternative voice to the Bible-centred "Good News Club". [49] After School Satan Clubs do not teach children to believe in supernatural beings named Satan or perform Satanic rituals. [44]

Reception

A group of Christian pastors and other religious leaders met in Tacoma to discuss the proposition that the After School Satan program would be allowed at a local school. One pastor remarked, "We want to cut this off and defeat it before it ever gets a chance to take root." Another pastor commented, "We are the taxpayers here and we ought to stand up and let them know they are not welcome, they don't pay taxes here." [50]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Satanism</span> Ideological and philosophical beliefs based on Satan

Satanism refers to a group of religious, ideological, and/or philosophical beliefs based on Satan—particularly his worship or veneration. Satan is associated with the Devil in Christianity, a fallen angel regarded as chief of the demons who tempt humans into sin. The phenomenon of Satanism shares "historical connections and family resemblances" with the Left Hand Path milieu of other occult figures such as Beelzebub, Hecate, Lilith, Lucifer, and Set. Self-identified Satanism is a relatively modern phenomenon, largely attributed to the 1966 founding of the Church of Satan by Anton LaVey in the United States—an atheistic group that does not believe in a supernatural Satan.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Church of Satan</span> Organization dedicated to atheistic Satanism

The Church of Satan (CoS) is a religious organization dedicated to the religion of Satanism as defined by Anton Szandor LaVey. Founded in San Francisco in 1966, by LaVey, it is considered the "oldest satanic religion in continual existence", and more importantly the most influential, inspiring "numerous imitator and breakaway groups". According to the Church, Satanism has been "codified" as "a religion and philosophy" by LaVey and his church. Founded in an era when there was much public interest in the occult, witchcraft and Satanism, the church enjoyed a heyday for several years after its founding. Celebrities attended LaVey's satanic parties and he was invited on talk shows. His Satanic Bible sold nearly a million copies.

<i>The Satanic Bible</i> 1969 religious text of LaVeyan Satanism

The Satanic Bible is a collection of essays, observations, and rituals published by Anton LaVey in 1969. It is the central religious text of LaVeyan Satanism, and is considered the foundation of its philosophy and dogma. It has been described as the most important document to influence contemporary Satanism. Though The Satanic Bible is not considered to be sacred scripture in the way that the Christian Bible is to Christianity, LaVeyan Satanists regard it as an authoritative text as it is a contemporary text that has attained for them scriptural status. It extols the virtues of exploring one's nature and instincts. Believers have been described as "atheistic Satanists" because they believe that God and Satan are not external entities, but rather projections of an individual's personality—benevolent and stabilizing forces in their life. There have been thirty printings of The Satanic Bible, selling over a million copies.

LaVeyan Satanism is the name given to the form of Satanism promoted by American occultist and author Anton LaVey (1930–1997). LaVey founded the Church of Satan (CoS) in 1966 in San Francisco. Although LaVey is thought to have had more influence with his Satanic aesthetics of "colourful" rites and "scandalous" clothes that created a "gigantic media circus", he also promoted his ideas in writings, such as the popular Satanic Bible. LaVeyan Satanism has been classified as a new religious movement and a form of Western esotericism by scholars of religion. LaVey's ideas have been said to weave together an array of sometimes "contradictory" "thinkers and tropes", combining "humanism, hedonism, aspects of pop psychology and the human potential movement", along with "a lot of showmanship", His ideas were heavily influenced by the ideas and writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Ayn Rand and Arthur Desmond.
