About Us

The goals of TST Alberta are to support, encourage, and promote participation in the International Campaigns of The Satanic Temple. To promote Satanic education within our Congregation along with our seven fundamental tenets while fulfilling our values.

Our History
TST Alberta was the 2nd established Congregation in all of Canada. We started as a small community in early 2018 by becoming a Friends of The Satanic Temple Group. With a huge outpouring of support and members spanning from all over Alberta, we made the decision to pursue chapter status, now known as congregations. February 8th 2020 we held Western Canadas 1st Unbaptism event, which drew 300 members from all over Canada to attend, finally qualifying us for chapter status. We officially became The Satanic Temple Alberta Congregation on March 10 2020, just before the panorama panini.

The mission of The Satanic Temple (TST) is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people. in addition, we embrace practical common sense and justice. TST facilitates the communication and mobilization of politically aware and civic minded Satanist, secularists, and advocates for individual liberty. As an organized religion, we feel it is our function to actively provide outreach, to lead by example, and to participate in public affairs wherever the issues might benefit from rational insights. As Members of The Satanic Temple, we all should be guided by our consciences to undertake noble pursuits guided by our individual wills. We do believe that this is the hope of all mankind and the highest aspiration of humanity.

The Satanic Temple

The Satanic Temple practice is non-theistic Satanism: we believe that religion can, and should, be divorced from superstition. As such, we do not believe in either God or the Devil as supernatural forces. We bow to no god or gods and celebrate our outsider status. To embrace the name Satan is to embrace rational inquiry removed from super-naturalism and archaic tradition-based superstitions. The Satanist should actively work to hone critical thinking and exercise reasonable inquiry in all things. Our beliefs must be malleable to the best current scientific understandings of the material world-never the reverse.
