WASHINGTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - A new investigation shows the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) gave preferential treatment in 2014 to a satanic organization by quickly approving a non-profit request.

Judicial Watch, a government watchdog organization, released a report on March 16, exposing how the IRS fast-tracked an application to approve a satanist-after-school club while holding up the approval of conservative organizations.

...
The report notes the Satanic Temple (ST) of Seattle, also called the Reason Alliance, applied for tax-exempt status on October 21, 2014 and received it 10 days later on October 31 — the satanic feast of Samhain.

The group, based in Somerville, Massachusetts, started an after-school program at Point Defiance Elementary School in Tacoma on November 2016. The ST commented, "The After School Satan Club will provide an after-school alternative focused not on proselytizing to children, but rather on giving them the critical thinking skills they need to make their own decisions about the world."
..
The ST has its program in nine schools throughout the United States and is seeking to have them in any school that also has a Good News Club — a group run by evangelical Protestants.
America Needs Fatima held a prayer rally at the school to protest the club with its director commenting, "The idea is to plant the seed of Satanism in children, to influence them to accept Satan and evil from an early age." Robert Ritchie continues, "Absurdly held to be a religion by some of our nation's courts, Satanism is using false legality to attack our country's most impressionable citizens: little children."

OH NOES! RELIGION IN SCHOOL IS BAD UNLESS ITS OUR RELIGION IN SCHOOL AT WHICH POINT ITS GOOD And also a reminder that 2017 Year of Good News is heralded by bigoted, anti-choice, anti-woman, homophobic and transphobic Conservative Christians who are bent on making the US a Christian Theocracy
