    A big part of the point is to encourage people to keep religion out of politics. Christianity is by far the most popular set of religions in the USA. They quite often cave and stop trying to add religion to political institutions when the Satanists win lawsuits to be included too. It wouldn’t be nearly as effective without using the Christian mythology.

      For me its the ultimate act of atheism. To purge the mind of all the superstition by embracing and even understanding and glorifying the figure who represents freedom in so many ways. Its a fight against what we see in all religions of villianizing freedom and getting believers to accept the collar of servitude.
