Ep.44: First They Came for the Satanists - Florida's Exclusionary Tactics

Satanists Nextdoor's Podcast

In this episode, Tommy and Lilin are fired up over yet another chaplain program pushed through legislation in Florida. They discuss Governor DeSantis’s controversial statements about the roles of chaplains in schools, specifically his exclusion of Satanists while pushing for Christian presence.

Tommy and Lilin rip into the hypocrisy of claiming religious freedom while systematically denying it to Satanists. They lay out how, despite legal recognitions, including by the IRS, that define Satanism as a legitimate religion, folks like DeSantis still push to marginalize our beliefs.

They also circle back to a chilling similarity between past religious freedoms and today’s twisting of those principles. It’s not just about whether you believe or not, it’s about whether anyone's belief can be sidelined by someone else’s dogma.

So, plug-in and get ready as they break down these moves against our rights and call for a united front to ensure that Satanism, alongside all other beliefs, is respected and protected. Because, as they put it, if it’s happening to us, it’s only a matter of time before it happens to someone else.
