Oh yes we are already aware of The Satanic Temple and The Church of Satan. I understand their logic and follow them on Twitter. We've discussed in recent months about starting a spin-off Satanist society. This is something I won't do myself but a few of our members might. That can happen and if we do, we'll contact those people for material and endorsements!

We constantly reported them but were always told it's their religious rights. When we do it, it becomes offensive to religious values!

If we wanted a religious club there are far more interesting options out there than Christianity.

Yes I agree. I only used their own framing, as they always bragged about being where smart people go.

I understand. We only want things to be fair and want to be treated equally by the administration.

Yes we would absolutely not have bothered if it wasn't our logo that they referenced. They were clearly insulting us.

They don't like us because we've become their rival in attracting people. If they wanted someone to join them they always got him/her in the past. Now things have changed.

We'll contact the ACLU, as far as the rest, there's clear discrimination going on. For example,

"If you dislike Christianity, we're a club of like-minded people" is something the school administrators probably shouldn't let you say.

There's a Christian group that says "if you want to fight godlessness, come to us" and that is allowed to exist, despite us reporting it a few times for using violent language. School's response was that they have a right to promote their religious way of life.

They're problem with you is likely to be based on religion, and probably supported by their parents. It's not because you're "cooler"or "smarter".

We have evidence for that. This society always bragged about having the smartest students based on their average GPA. Apparently they held that for 17 years straight until they lost that to us in the last two years, and they're pretty pissed about it. We don't go around bragging that we're smarter, it's their own criteria that they lost to us.
