Denigrate
or
Destroy

We must go a lot farther than denigrating what others consider sacred, in some cases it must be destroyed. Whenever a pattern of religious belief imposes on other people it must be counteracted. Inflexible religious thinking poses extreme danger to everyone, regardless of how long it has been practiced, or who holds it sacred. As the world grows ever smaller and we rub shoulders with people from every background the need for non-imposition and non-interference grows. Banning the Lord's Prayer in American schools effectively illustrates non-imposition. We must go further though, Satanists deserve every protection that society affords atheists. Preaching hatred is illegal in Canada, ridicule works much better.

Dismissal is not a tool that can be used in this crowded world without extreme consequence, dismissing religious zealotry has been proven ineffective. "jihad" and "racial superiority" must be destroyed as surely as "human sacrifice" or "slavery" regardless of any who make the claim that they are sacred.

Satan worship is fine, people can even kill chickens, just say no to virgins though.
