The leader of The Satanic Temple (TST) saw his own followers turn on him after he posted a picture with an atheist who criticized “crazy woke” LGBT activism.

Lucien Greaves, co-founder of The Satanic Temple, posed for a photo with atheist activist David Silverman, who describes himself as “ex-Left” and “ex-woke, but still left of center.” …

The photo of Silverman with Greaves drew instant backlash.

“People immediately hated on me, but they had no idea why,” Silverman told The Atlantic. “They just knew I was an outsider and therefore a hateful, anti-trans, evil person, and Lucien was guilty for knowing me.”
