Legitimate question coming from an uninformed atheist, how is Lucien Greaves just as bad as LaVey? I see TST more as an activist group than a religion, and it looks like they have done some good for reproductive rights and separation of church and state, while LaVey was a con artist predicating social libertarianism. Again, I might be missing something here.

Edit: Wow, really didn't know about the SLAPPs and the fascist tendencies. Goes to show, never trust a charismatic leader

Greaves grifts off of the brand and makes money through the IP. Many of the lawsuits they file are poorly done and interfere with other efforts to safeguard reproductive rights. The leadership discriminates against LGBTQ members and actively attacks anyone that speaks out. This is because Lucien is a fascist with a history of saying nazi things with white supremacist criminals.

This video by Dead Domain, an enby who infiltrated a hate church and CPAC, explains the situation and links to a document with more info.
