Concord, New Hampshire, has decided to gift its citizens a holiday season they’ll never forget—by greenlighting a Satanic Temple display alongside its nativity scene. That’s right, Baphomet himself, complete with yellow eyes and a purple stole adorned with upside-down crosses, will now grace the town square in the name of “religious pluralism.” Because nothing screams holiday spirit like an occult deity looming over a sacred Christian tradition.
The city claims it had no choice but to approve the Satanic Temple’s (TST) request, citing First Amendment rights and a desire to “avoid litigation.” Translation? “We’d rather cave to a lawsuit threat than stand up for common sense.” According to Concord’s Facebook post, city officials were left with two options: ban all holiday displays or allow the Satanic Temple to join in. Predictably, they chose the latter, proving once again that progressive governance prioritizes appeasement over principles.
Let’s not sugarcoat this: the Satanic Temple is not about “unity” or “religious equity,” despite what their PR machine claims. Even Concord’s own mayor, Byron Champlin, saw through the charade, saying the request was “not made in the interest of promoting religious equity, but to drive an anti-religious political agenda.” That’s exactly right. The Satanic Temple doesn’t seek inclusion; it seeks to provoke, disrupt, and erode the sacred traditions of communities across America—all while hiding behind the Constitution they seem to loathe.
TST cofounder Lucien Greaves, never one to miss a chance for some self-righteous moralizing, told Fox News Digital that the city’s decision was a win for religious liberty. “Even those who feel uncomfortable with Satanic imagery should nonetheless be proud,” he said, conveniently ignoring the fact that shoving Satanic symbols into a community’s holiday display has less to do with liberty and more to do with rubbing salt into cultural wounds.
The irony here is that the same crowd cheering for Baphomet’s public debut would clutch their pearls at the mere sight of a Ten Commandments monument on public property. Democrats and their progressive allies love to weaponize the First Amendment when it suits them but scream bloody murder if a Christian dares express their beliefs in public. It’s the same double standard we’ve come to expect from the left: they champion inclusivity, as long as it excludes anything that reminds them of traditional American values.
This isn’t about religious freedom. It’s about undermining the Christian foundation of this country and replacing it with chaos disguised as “pluralism.” Conservatives understand that the First Amendment was never intended to give free rein to those who use it as a tool for cultural subversion. America thrives on faith, family, and tradition—not on the glorification of anti-religious provocateurs.
The good news is that truth always wins. Communities across this country are waking up to the left’s games and pushing back. The Christmas season is a time to celebrate hope and light, not to surrender sacred traditions to those who revel in mockery. Baphomet may stand in Concord’s town square for now, but the values that built America are far more enduring.
