This is the official Lemmy Community for The Global Order Of Satan, a progressive, independent, non-theistic Satanic ministry with Orders around the world. We promote Satanic ideals, encourage elevation of the self, and challenge the oppression of hegemonic religions.
Non Satanists welcome to join and participate and ask questions.
The rules:
- Follow the Six Pillars at all times.
- Post and comment with respect for everyone
- Zero tolerance for racism, ableism, sexism, casteism, transphobia, homophobia. This includes antisemitism - attacking religions (Judaism) is fine, attacking races (Jewish people) is not.
- No proselytising. Don't try and 'convert' people to or from any religion
- No doxxing. People have the right to be as private as they like.
- No brigading.

looks like a very American-focused organisation... you talk like you're rebelling against Christianity being shoved down your throat, and that's fine for you crowd, but not really relevant to our culture where Christianity is quite meek and polite
Well, no. You're incorrect on a few levels.
Firstly, GOS was founded by people from the UK and then joined by people from France, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Poland and Italy. In the 5 years of our existence, we've had US based Orders for less than a year.
Secondly, GOS operates on a federated model - each Order is entirely independent of the others. There is an international code of conduct which is as minimal as we can get it (no under 18s, all Orders much be operated democratically, all finances must be transparent to all its members) but other than that, for example, GOS UK has no say how GOS Poland operates. However, we can also come together to help each other if needed.
Thirdly, I don't know where in the world you're from but I'm in the UK where, despite chrisitianity being the religion of less than half of the population, we still have 26 unelected bishops in law making positions, there are laws mandating christian worship in schools and a growing faction within the Tory party are pushing for christian based legislation.
