A member of The Community of Satan can have any religious or atheistic views that do not interfere with the freedom of others. (We support tolerance, but not at the expense of human rights)

(As a community, we want to help victims of religion)
The Community of Satan considers this planet and nature, not heaven, a place of true paradise. (We are pantheists with a friendly attitude to atheism – nature and evolution is our sacred entity)
