In their zeal to tout their faith in the public square, conservatives in Oklahoma may have unwittingly opened the door to a wide range of religious groups, including Satanists who are seeking to put their own statue next to a Ten Commandments monument outside the Statehouse. A Ten Commandments monument currently sits outside the Statehouse, so Okla. Satanists believe if one religion should be protected, so should all others.
Analysis: I think that every religious group should have equal representation in the nation. Since OK has opened the door to every group, there should be no issue with Satanists wanting to come represent themselves in the public square. If they decide against it, it would be an unfair bias against the Satanist following.

It's my understanding that most Satanists don't believe in the Devil as well...the Devil but more as a deity or even just an idea that wants the best for humanity and encourages its followers to depend on themselves or something like that. So I hardly anticipate any goat sacrifices going on in Oklahoma, and religious freedom is one of our country's first and foremost ideals.
