It has everything to do with it because god said so:
"They basically told me that I should be ashamed of myself," Timonet told a local news outlet. "That I wasn't basically following God's ideals, which made me cry even more." "I felt like my life was over."
Guys, it’s the same rules as any underaged closet atheist. Study your ass off, become financially independent, then twerk in front of your god fearing scholarship committee
Satanism is only necessary because religion is cancer though. Just like cancer, we need to use another thing that kills to kill it. I'm 100% in agreement with Satanism's tenants, but it's because they're just humanist ideals wrapped in the garb of religion to use religion as a tool.
All religions are tools. Saying "religion is cancer" overlooks all of the good things that people get out of religion, such as a community with shared values that helps each other. If you can have a religion without superstition and dogma, where's the harm? It's not religion that's cancer. It's superstition and dogma.
Sure, but the term religion implies superstition and dogma. It's literally part of the definition. What is religion without that? Community and tax exempt status? The former is just called community (which also implies shared values) and the latter is mostly a scam.
I'm not saying good things can't come from religion, but they don't come because they are religious. Any good they do is done regardless (or often despite) the supernatural beliefs.

Definitions have to comport with reality, not the other way around. Satanism is not a social club. We have holidays, we have rituals, we have ministers who conduct wedding ceremonies. We even have church services.
I mean if you’re going to be that pedantic about a comment that doesn’t strike me as intending to be nuanced and specific, there are versions of Christianity that are fine with twerking too

Religion is cancer
Christianity is cancer. My religion supports your right to twerk.

I am interested in your religion
It's Satanism.

People say "religion" when they mean "Christianity". This A) isn't fair to other religions and B) helps to enforce Christian hegemony.
People also say “Christianity” when they mean “evangelicalism.”
That, too.
Sounds like someone dodged a bullet! Bullet-dodge ass-dance!
Oh that really pisses me off. The poor girl!
@Coasting0942 @sara ooooooh. This is a religious scholarship? or a religious school? Alrighty then at least that makes sense.
It appears to be a public high school.
A public high school in Louisiana, so essentially a Christian school.
