A Veterans Affairs supervisor at an undisclosed facility has reportedly removed a 'not today, Satan, not today' sign from her desk after a colleague filed a complaint with a nonprofit civil rights organization.

An unnamed Air Force veteran who 'subscribes to many non-theist teachings (including Satanist)' claimed that the anti-Satan sign was prominently placed on the supervisor's desk.

The honorably discharged vet described the display as a 'grotesque Christian supremacist sign,' in an email to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation - the organization that took up the cause.

The MRFF and attorney Michael Weinstein, who specializes in religious freedom cases, were prepared to go to battle with the VA employee when the display was removed before an initial meeting could even take place.

Weinstein, who has successfully litigated cases that involve religious displays on military grounds, told The Christian Post that the 'Not Today Satan' sign was a 'was a noxious example of trying to express a particular religious view in a situation where it simply was not warranted.'

The anonymous VA worker was, according to Weinstein, 'already having significant problems with his or her immediate supervisor, and this didn't help any.'

When questioned by the religious outlet about defending devil worship, Weinstein said that some remain in the dark about 'the full nature of satanism.'

'It's not sacrificing children at midnight with knives,' he said, though he acknowledged that most people consider Satan to be evil.

'Remember, in our perspective, we don't look at it as to what is good and bad. We look at what is legal and what's not legal,' he added, noting that most of his clients have historically been Christians facing workplace discrimination.

I'd put it away, and then the complaintant would be calling stewards or lawyers every single week as the allegations piled up. And the VA is loooaded with ways to make some c--------- like that miserable for eternity.
