This goes to the heart of ignorance surrounding our civil rights in the First Amendment.

The establishment clause that begins our First Amendment to the Constitution is discussing Established religions in the United States.

That is NOT a church of Satan or any number of fake religious groups founded on purely reactionary grounds. This group makes no disagreement with the reality that they are simply anti Christian. That is not a religion.

The building out of the establishment clause to local communities means we should all ask if the religious group has an established historical connection to the community. If no, then you have no claim in the Establishment clause. The founders were really trying to protect religious churches as they were in the founding. Courts need to deny standing to these nonsense groups.

Satan church is fake. whatever weird name or derivatives they come up with and we don’t let groups fabricate identities on a host of other legal categories.

So if you move to a community and find you are the only Jew, you’re out of luck? Maybe you need to work on your theory a bit.
