Exploring America’s Bizarre Religion Cult (Satanism)
In a journey that challenges conventional perceptions, Drew Binsky delves into the intriguing world of Satanism, a belief system that boasts over 700,000 adherents in the U.S. This exploration takes him to Massachusetts, where he meets with members of the Satanic Temple, a community that has redefined its image as a symbol of resistance and empowerment.
Contrary to the common misconception that Satanism involves devil worship and sinister rituals, this video presents a refreshingly nuanced perspective. Binsky engages with believing Satanists, including Sandora, a self-identified satanic witch. They discuss the foundations of modern Satanism, emphasizing self-empowerment, humanism, and a deep appreciation for individual freedom. For many, including Sandora, Satan represents rebellion against societal norms, not a literal embodiment of evil.
Throughout the video, viewers are treated to vivid depictions of Massachusetts’ rich history with witchcraft, reflecting on the infamous Salem witch trials and the cultural baggage surrounding these topics. Binsky takes his time to strip away the stigma as he learns that for Satanists, affirming their identity often comes with challenges, including facing societal misunderstanding and prejudice. His interviews reveal that many followers are, in fact, atheists—using the figure of Satan as a metaphor for questioning authority and traditional belief systems.
The Satanic Temple stands at the forefront of advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, the separation of church and state, and social justice initiatives, showcasing a more compassionate side often overlooked. This documentary invites you to expand your understanding of what it means to be a Satanist today, revealing a community that prioritizes equality and empathy over the fearsome narratives propagated by media and pop culture.
