I know how you probably meant that, but you’re accidentally right. One of their tenets is “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.”.
The payout shows that they simply were trying to follow their tenet and not looking to profit. That’s very noble and just of them.
I actually don’t think it has anything to do with that tenet. It’s simply a basic principle of fairness: if you’re going to allow Christian clubs, you should allow Satanic ones, too. TST doesn’t attempt to set up After School Satan Clubs in schools that don’t have a Christian club, which goes to show that it isn’t about offense but equal rights.
Moreover, TST doesn’t try to force other people to obey their tenets. One of the things that Satanists hate about Christianity is that they try to force people who are not in their religion to obey the rules of their religion. Satanism doesn’t (and shouldn’t) do the same thing.
Its my belief that they have plenty of members that are lawyers although there is not any information I can dig up on numbers. They have lots of legal battles that should cost a shit ton of money that I’m not sure they could all fund on their own.

Kinda shot past their point there and then restated it in paragraph two.
I don’t get it. This isn’t about a “freedom to offend”, and even if it were, suing somebody over it is the opposite of respecting their freedom.
The Satanists lawyers are getting paid by the school board for winning the Satanists’ case.
How much taxpayer money should be awarded as damages to the taxpayer plaintiffs?
