  1. Satanic children’s book to be distributed to Florida schools

Responding to a Christian group distributing Bibles in public high schools, the Satanic Temple decided to spread their own message.

“The Satanic Children’s Big Book of Activities” is a children’s book created by the Satanic Temple intended to spread tolerance and dispel ignorance. It can be downloaded for free online.

Claiming justification from the first amendment, which establishes separation church and state, the temple demanded an equal chance to spread their message in schools.
