Get the Samaria mug.An Atheistic group with the goal of fighting for religious freedom by ensuring the government doesn't give special treatment to one religion over another. Despite what the name implies, they do not worship, much less believe in, Satan. They merely view Satan as a symbol of the opposition.
They are very progressive in their ideology and value compassion and reason over doctrine. They do not believe in anything supernatural.
Tenets:
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

As a member of The Satanic Temple, I believe we should be compassionate to others and help those in need without expecting anything in return.

Get the samariya mug.Another name for someone who selflessly helps others.
This term originates from the parable told by Jesus in the Bible about a Samaritan (a man from a country called Samaria) who helps out a Jewish man who is ambushed by theives and left to die. This was all the more selfless of an act considering that the Jewish and Samaritan people in those times usually did not associate with each other. This story was told in response to a question concerning the scriptural mandate to "love thy neighbor as thyself". According to the story, a man asked "Who is my neighbor?" and the moral of the parable is that everyone is really your neighbor (meaning you should help anyone you see in need).
Today a Good Samaritan is usually someone who goes out on a limb to help others, even if they are complete strangers.

Ex. An anonymous good Samaritan rescued a child from the river yesterday, but left the area before he could be thanked.

Get the Good Samaritan mug.A branch of Satanism that is a philosophy, rather than a religion; based upon living by a code of honor and embracing the glorification of the human ego. In this way, it shares similarities with LaVeyan Satanism, but AutoDeistic Satanists shun all things magical and spiritual, and instead believe in science and evolution.
Satan is regarded as an important symbol for hope and unity, and any and all ritualistic practices are looked down upon.

I was reading up on AutoDeistic Satanism today. It's kind of similar to the Church of Satan, but it's about science, not the occult.
