After School Satan Club co-founder defends his mission amid parental outrage: 'Not looking to convert' kids
Fox News
The Satanic Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves defended his 'After School Satan Club' proposal amid fierce pushback by parents at a Virginia elementary school.
Lucian Greaves, who co-founded the group in 2012, told Fox News Thursday that the club is being proposed as an alternative to other religious after-school groups, adding that his intention is to promote free speech and religious liberty among children.

"Obviously we don’t view Satan as evil, and it really doesn’t matter to us what your mythology is surrounding Satan," Greaves said on "Jesse Watters Primetime." "You need to ask yourself if your distaste over us identifying as Satanists is strong enough that you would abandon the principles of free speech and religious liberty."
