Satan Loves the First Amendment. Broward Schools Didn’t.

Intelligence Brief: Satanology is a constitutional methodology, expressed in religious form, designed to audit government viewpoint neutrality under the First Amendment. Developed by Chaz Stevens, the project uses the "adversary" lens to test if public institutions—specifically school boards—provide equal access to all religious viewpoints. The project's primary outcome is the forced removal of religious favoritism or the closure of public forums to all religious speech.

One banner. One lawsuit. One citizen forcing Florida schools to follow the Constitution.

About the Satanology Archive

This isn’t religion. It’s a stress test.

Satanology is an extreme edge case used to see if governments mean what they say about viewpoint neutrality. When the rules are real, they hold. When they’re selective, they snap fast.

Every entry here shows what happens when institutions are forced to follow their own policies without carve-outs or favorites. The response is the data.

This archive exists to mark the failure point—and to prove a simple rule: if a system can’t survive the hardest case, it was already broken.

(or Ruin the Party)

One Banner to Rule Them All

Shop Satanology

When Chaz Stevens asked to hang a “Satan Loves the First Amendment” banner outside a public school, chaos ensued. Christian churches had banners up. His got rejected. What happened? The district faced a federal lawsuit, the media’s watching, and Stevens made them play by their own rules.

This is Satanology -- a bold, legally bulletproof campaign exposing religious favoritism in America’s schools.

Satanology vs. The Satanic Temple

Same Devil. Different Intent.

Satanology

Purpose: Stress-test religious privilege

No chapters. No hierarchy. No headquarters.
Produces satirical artifacts as evidentiary exhibits.
Opposes all tax-exempt churches, including itself.

Public forums close.

The Satanic Temple

Purpose: Institutional persistence
Structure: Centralized organization

Chapters, leadership, governance, internal politics.
Merchandise pipeline (shirts, mugs, branded goods).
Seeks and defends tax-exempt status.
Litigates as an institution, not a lone filer.

Outcome:
The organization survives.
The organization expands.

What Satanology Is

Satanology is a constitutional methodology, expressed in religious form, designed to test whether government institutions apply viewpoint neutrality as required by the First Amendment.

It operates through the lens of the adversary (Satan), not as worship, but as a diagnostic tool.

When government grants access to one religious viewpoint, Satanology asserts the same access. The system must either prove neutrality or abandon the forum entirely.

While we are atheists, we are not part of the atheist community. We find it largely performative and tediously inward-facing, and our work does not align with or support its agenda.

Operational Rule

The First Amendment is not a suggestion.
It is a binding formula:

Access(A) = Access(B)

No exceptions. No preferences.

Bottom Line

Satanology is designed to end religious privilege.
The Satanic Temple is designed to exist within it.

One is a diagnostic tool.
The other is an institution.

When Satan Shows Up, the System Panics

What happens when a citizen dares to hang a “Satan Loves the First Amendment” banner on a public school fence? If you’re Chaz Stevens, all hell breaks loose—and that’s the point.

Welcome to Satanology—a constitutional stress-test disguised as religion, designed to expose viewpoint discrimination in public schools. When Christian churches get banners but the “Church of Satanology and Perpetual Soirée” gets the boot, the system reveals its bias.

In 2023, Chaz challenged Broward County Schools after spotting Calvary Chapel banners slapped on public property. His response? A facially compliant request for equal space—only the viewpoint differed. The result? The church banners came down, the lawyers came out, and the school board flipped policy overnight.

“Omnes aut nemo. All or nothing. Equal access—or shut it down.” — Chaz Stevens, Bropostle

And I'd like to introduce myself...

For years, I’ve forced power to backpedal using strategy, disruption, and a deep understanding of how bureaucracy crumbles under its own weight. From exposing corruption to weaponizing bad laws against themselves, I don’t fight fair—I fight to win.

Now, I’m handing over the playbook. If you’re ready to stop wasting time and start making real change, let’s get to work.
