Of course, the group says it doesn't actually support devil worship for children.

They say, just like other clubs, kids will get a healthy snack, literature lesson, a science lesson and an art project.

The after school program is a tongue-in-cheek way of promoting the separation of church and state in public education, according to the group. Their website provides information on their efforts to "counter evangelism in schools."

They are targeting schools that already have an after school religious program.

The Satanic Temple is a group dedicated to bringing Satan worship into public meetings and government-sponsored organizations where religious customs are already present. Its members reject religious beliefs and, instead, promote science and rationalism.
