The true first amendment test will be when Christians offer their critiques of satanism, which they have a right before God to do, although they may suffer as a consequence.
I may be mistaken, but I believe these “satanism” observations are among the more bowdlerized ways that the devil can be approached. The devil typically doesn’t come around as in satanic ceremonies, a hunky male figure in red tights with horns and a pointy tail and a pitchfork. He comes around as the answer to our fondest short sighted wishes. They aren’t even honest about the devil.

Y’all have had that happening ever since the so-called pentecostal revival in the 1920’s, and what has it done? You have HAD apologetics published since before I was born, and what has it done? You have had C.S.Lewis’ Screwtape writings, and what has it done? Truth is, y’all ain’t winning, as you think!
Shucks, there is even that ol’ dead and gone bishop from NYC still being played on YOUTUBE, and what has it done?
I believe in the Jeffersonian relationship of Deity and man, with all that a man does, is between him and his god, and nobody else’s business.
