Starting December 5, 2022, Golden Hills Elementary School in Tehachapi, north of Los Angeles, will host an After School Satan Club.
From among several reports, I chose the one from the San Francisco Chronicle because it would be viewed as unbiased.
...
Quotes from the San Francisco Chronicle:
For years, the Satanic Temple, a group The Washington Post describes as a “nontheistic religious organization advocating for secularism and scientific rationalism,” has been launching these clubs in public schools where evangelical Christian groups — namely, the Good News Club — have their own meetings.
The group says that in club meetings it is “not interested in converting children to Satanism” and that sessions “will focus on free inquiry and rationalism, the scientific basis for which we know what we know about the world around us.”
...
This statement from the Satanic Temple must be taken with a heavy dose of skepticism. The group describes itself as a sect that advocates for secularism. Secularism is what it is – anti-religion and, specifically, anti-Christian, and everyone knows it.
There is nothing irrational or unscientific about Catholicism, just as there is nothing irrational about Aristotle or unscientific about Copernicus or Galileo. Aquinas (A.D. 1225-1274) incorporated Aristotle into Catholic philosophy. Copernicus, a Catholic canon, and Galileo, a Catholic with daughters in religious life, influenced Francis Bacon, an Anglican and the man credited with formalizing and popularizing the scientific method.
Moreover, the Satanic Temple will never produce great art and music.
