Satanic Temple Wants Its Flag To Be Raised At Boston City Hall

In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision earlier this week in Shurtleff v. City of Boston holding that Boston should have allowed Camp Constitution to  briefly fly a Christian flag on a flag pole outside city hall, The Satanic Temple has asked Boston for similar treatment.  AP reports:

The Salem-based group tweeted a request filed Tuesday with the city property management department to raise a flag marking “Satanic Appreciation Week” from July 23-29....

Lucien Greaves, the organization’s co-founder, said in an email Wednesday that the group wants to show that religious liberty must mean respect for “all forms” of religious practice and religious opinion.
