Satanists seek spot next to Ten Commandments monument on steps of Oklahoma's
Statehouse

In their zeal to tout their faith in the public square, conservatives in
Oklahoma may have unwittingly opened the door to a wide range of religious
groups, including satanists who are seeking to put their own statue next to
a Ten Commandments monument on the Statehouse steps.
The Republican-controlled Legislature in this state known as the buckle of
the Bible Belt authorized the privately funded Ten Commandments monument in
2009, and it was placed on the Capitol grounds last year despite criticism
from legal experts who questioned its constitutionality.
But the New York-based Satanic Temple saw an opportunity. It notified the
state's Capitol Preservation Commission that it wants to donate a monument
and plans to submit one of several possible designs this month, said Lucien
Greaves, a spokesman for the temple.
"We believe that all monuments should be in good taste and consistent with
community standards," Greaves wrote in letter to state officials. "Our
proposed monument, as an homage to the historic/literary Satan, will
certainly abide by these guidelines."
Greaves said one potential design involves a pentagram, a satanic symbol,
while another is meant to be an interactive display for children. He said he
expects the monument, if approved by Oklahoma officials, would cost about $
20,000.
