Scottsdale won't allow Satanic Temple prayer at council meeting
Scottsdale will bar the Satanic Temple from leading a scheduled prayer at a City Council meeting in July, city officials announced Monday.
(. . .)
Satanic Temple spokesman Stu de Haan said the city has "pulled the rug out from under us" after twice approving plans for the invocation — first for April 5 and then for July 6 when the group had to reschedule for logistical reasons.
"Here at the last minute they decided to make up or construct some reason or pretext not to have us speak," de Haan said. "They had to have made it up, because why would they approve us in the first place then?"

The Satanists filing notes that there have been no invocations by Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus or "countless other faiths" since the day they were rejected.Some say just let them do a “Satanic Prayer” and walk out. That’s not good enough. Rather than walk out, we’re standing up to this ridiculing of religion.
Some things are worth fighting for.
These invocations celebrate our diversity, as we have heard respectful and thoughtful messages from Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and countless other faiths.
