Mitchell Kahle added another scalp to his belt when restrictions on apparel and accessories depicting Satanism were yanked from Kaimuki High School's dress code last week.

"To me, Satanism is a superstition," Kahle said. "Just like Christianity."

The point, he insisted, was that if one religious symbol is banned from a public school dress code, they all must go.

What is a symbol for the "religion" on Satanism? Is Anton Levay's Church of Satan tax exempt? I know that he tried to bring lawsuits against others that tried to make their own "Church Of Satan". As I understood him from an interview I once saw, he did not believe in God but did hold to some concept of "Satan". It was all a commercialization co-opting of a figure from another religion. Even Sammi Davis Jr. says that he only joined for the orgies. It was just another trademarked religion (like Scientology).

It's largely about being a fashion accessory. It's unclear exactly what is banned by this. Are we talking about concert shirts with slogans like "Anti-Christ Superstar", "I Am The God Of F&*#"? Are we talking about tattoos? Are we talking about pentagrams worn around the neck?

Are gang colors banned? What's the difference?
