'Speak of the Devil' is a book-length study of The Satanic Temple. Joseph Laycock, a scholar of new religious movements, contends that the emergence of 'political Satanism' marks a significant moment in American religious history that will have a lasting impact on how Americans frame debates about religious freedom. Though the group gained attention for its strategic deployment of outrage, it claims to have developed beyond politics into a religious movement. Equal parts history and ethnography, Speak of the Devil demonstrates why religious Satanism is significant to larger conversations about the definition of religion, religious freedom, and religious tolerance. In 2013, when the state of Oklahoma erected a statue of the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the state capitol, a group calling themselves The Satanic Temple applied to erect a statue of Baphomet alongside the Judeo-Christian tablets. Since that time, The Satanic Temple has become a regular voice in national conversations about religious freedom, disestablishment, and government overreach. In addition to petitioning for Baphomet to appear alongside another monument of the Ten Commandments in Arkansas, the group has launched campaigns to include Satanic "nativity scenes" on government property in Florida, Michigan, and Indiana, offer Satanic prayers at a high school football game in Seattle, and create "After School Satan" programs in elementary schools that host Christian extracurricular programs. Since their 2012 founding, The Satanic Temple has established 19 chapters and now claims 100,000 supporters. Is this just a political group perpetuating a series of stunts? Or is it a sincere religious movement? Speak of the Devil is the first book-length study of The Satanic Temple. Joseph Laycock, a scholar of new religious movements, contends that the emergence of "political Satanism" marks a significant moment in American religious history that will have a lasting impact on how Americans frame debates about religious freedom. Though the group gained attention for its strategic deployment of outrage, it claims to have developed beyond politics into a genuine religious movement. Equal parts history and ethnography, Speak of the Devil is Laycock's attempt to take seriously The Satanic Temple's work to redefine religion, the nature of pluralism and religious tolerance, and what "religious freedom" means in America.… (más)

Majority rule with minority rights. Separation of church and state. Religious freedom. All key principles of the United States government. But when the Satanic Temple comes along and tries to put these principles into action, we find that the majority religion in the US doesn't really practice what they preach.

When I saw the documentary about the TST and read articles about them I assumed that they were just some atheists trying to stir things up and make sure that Christians were following the rules. But after reading this book I see that many of them have made a real faith of Satanism. And contrary to popular belief it's not about eating babies and dragging souls down to hell. It's more about respecting individuality and personal freedom.

The story of Satan is nuanced, and many Americans don't have time for details. They'd rather picture a Halloween/horror movie monster than angel who "fell from grace" after fighting a battle he believed in.

Anyway, the book was great if maybe a little repetitive. It really did unveil how minorities in this country get the short end of the stick. The TST had to result to lawsuits to attempt to get the same rights as Christians. Rights that are guaranteed by current laws. If they wanted to say a prayer before a government meeting where Christians usually said a prayer, they were blocked at every turn. New laws were written to prevent them from speaking or sometimes all types of prayer were removed. When Christians wanted to promote their religion in schools the Satanists tried to do the same thing and again, were prevented from it and had to file lawsuits. Etc. etc...

So hopefully they'll keep going and bringing to light this prejudice. ( )
