About
About The Satan Not Hatin’ Campaign
Satanists come from a range of eclectic backgrounds with many of us coming from the various alt music scenes – rock, metal, punk, goth, industrial and more. Our love of these scenes, along with the bands, venues and organisations that exist within them, intertwines with our Satanism, often embracing the same themes, imagery and symbolism.
Sadly, we are noticing a rise in hatred and bigotry in the music scenes we hold dear. We’ve witnessed racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other hate crimes. We’ve seen the symbols we use co-opted into messages of hate. People have been made to feel shamed and unwelcome in what were once open and inclusive communities.
No more. This is where we start to reclaim these spaces.
We have therefore relaunched the Satan Not Hatin’ campaign to combat this rise and we are thrilled to say the bands, venues and organisations on the website have enthusiastically agreed to be part of this new list of participants, with more to come.
If you are in a band, own a venue or run an organisation and would like to be part of Satan Not Hatin’ please use the form on the ‘Join In’ page. If you’d like to help us spread the word about Satan Not Hatin’ please download the media pack.
Satan Not Hatin is a joint initiative by various Orders of the Global Order of Satan. GOS UK, House of Heretics, GOS: Steel City and Satanistiska Samfundet.
About The Global Order of Satan
The Global Order of Satan is an international collection of communal Orders. We promote Satanic idealism and self-worship, while protecting those who are oppressed by overbearing religious hegemony and the undue influence of dominant religions in public life.
As atheists, we believe in neither gods nor devils. Our ideology is instead rooted in courage, compassion, science, the self, and in rituals of introspection. The Six Pillars of The Global Order of Satan enshrine our beliefs and provide what we believe to be a superior guide to moral and compassionate living.
By contrast to other Satanic organisations, we focus on:
- the importance of our community in all that we do;
- a deliberate shift towards inclusive and non-hierarchical organisational structure;
- explicit condemnation of pro-fascist, racist, and eugenicist viewpoints;
- increased attention on supporting local/grassroots issues;
- an explicitly welcoming environment for members who are LGBTQIA+ and/or neurodivergent.
The Global Order of Satan was formed to be a worldwide collective of Satanists united under a shared set of life values and moral Pillars, and rapidly expanded across Europe and beyond into the organisation you see today.
