Hail Science! Earth Day 2017 On this day of Earth Day, an international celebration of environmental awareness and the ecological sciences, it may be worth re-stating Satanism’s stance on science itself. Science has always been given the Devil’s name, as its discoveries have time and time again debunked unfounded spiritual dogma. It should therefore come as no surprise that the Church of Satan takes a pro-science stance, embracing skepticism and critical thinking, the antitheses of faith.

TO EACH HIS OWN Today, Christians celebrate the well-known myth, lifted from earlier pagan religions, of a savior risen from the dead while some pagans esteem the relatively obscure female deity, Ēostre.
