    Which image? Also Baphomet isn’t a demon.

    Baphomet symbolizes balance and knowledge.

    The modern The Satanic Temple (TST) uses Baphomet as a symbol of critical thinking and pursuit of scientific knowledge.

    If you don’t know, the TST is an atheist/agnostic religious order that is , in some ways like the church of the flying spaghetti monster in that it’s existence is, in part, to point out problems with religion. And specifically challenge religious laws.

    The tst often uses its own doctrine to fight against laws with religious exemptions. Such as abortion bans. As they say it’s in their religion to allow women autonomy over such things.

    In cities where the 10 commandments have been placed in state buildings and schools (after laws passed to allow religious things to be placed there) then they sue to make sure their religious icons are also placed there or to force the government to ban all religion stuff.

    They have a whole network of lawyers. https://thesatanictemple.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoquML54swNBR5BvIh_Hy0fMyBzPagoa2uED70JdVuH78-vXR5Eh

    They do good work.
