The Satanic Temple, a non-theistic religious organization, set up an altar within the Iowa State Capitol, stating that they want to be “represented” within a “public forum.”
A public display of the altar was posted to social media showing a silver ram’s head on a mannequin body wearing a red cape, donned with flowers and candles. Lucien Greaves, a co-founder of the organization, said the group is “really” relishing in the “opportunity” to have the public display, stating that if people don’t like it they can look away, per KKCI Des Moines.

“We’re going to really relish the opportunity to be represented in a public forum,” Greaves stated, according to KCCI Des Moines. “We don’t have a church on every street corner.”
“My feeling is if people don’t like our display in public forums, they don’t have to engage with them. They don’t have to view them.”
