"We can not allow opportunistic politicians to insist on collapsing the wall of separation between Church and State as a consolation for the removal of Confederate iconography," The Satanic Temple spokesperson, Lucien Greaves, stated."They are not being given a choice of whom they can marginalize next."
"The Satanic Temple is fully dedicated to preserving Religious Liberty, and that includes the rights of non-believers and believers of alternative faiths to live free of government coercion or sanction related to their personal religious opinions," he continued."To us, this is no small matter.”" Designs for the new flag will be presented to lawmakers in September. Voters will then have a chance to decide which design they like best at the ballot box in November.
