So what is Hexbear's official stance on Satanists and Luciferians?

On some subjects they seem pretty leftist, on others they seem like libertarians.

Pick a dang side, Satanists!

    Religions aren't actually political, not in that sense. Some politics-obsessed people will fight me on that: "Everything is political!" but shut up. There are right-wing Christians and left-wing Christians.

    My second point is that there are wildly different conceptions of 'Satanism'. LaVeyism is a million miles from The Order of The Nine Angles.

      Religions don't have to be implicitly political, but they often are, especially when religious organizations start doing things like managing land or education. Feudal states would use churches as a cheaper and less involved way of delivering the bare minimum of public services to the peasantry. Local religious leaders effectively becoming petty bureaucrats. Socialist projects have needed to disentangle religious organizations from exerting power over public resources, which makes religion a political matter in that case.
