Pro tip from WaPo: Satanists tells us they don't believe in Satan

Some conservatives have also called for a boycott of Target over its partnership with the U.K.-based brand Abprallen, which they claim features Satanist designs. Some of the Abprallen pieces that Target was selling include a sweatshirt featuring an image of a snake with the line, “Cure transphobia, not trans people,” as well as a messenger bag that reads, “We belong everywhere.”

An earlier Instagram post from the designer, flagged by conservative media groups, reads: “Satan respects pronouns.” The caption explains that Satanists do not believe in Satan but invoke Satan as a symbol of passion and pride.
