On this week's episode we chat with Lucien Greaves, co-founder of the Satanic Temple. He walks us through what being a Satanist ACTUALLY means, common stereotypes, their core beliefs and why membership has been going up as the Supreme Court gets more Christian. Lucien was incredibly well spoken and thought provoking and we learned so much from him!
