They are not TST-affiliated, more like an old style LaVeyan group.
The Satanic org I'm a member of also have a Chilean Order and I know the two orgs have talked but their LaVeyan-ism (i.e. libertarian/Ayn Rand type of Objectivism) doesn't really align with us.
- Oh yeah. Ugh. The LaVeyans are assholes. "Do what thou wilt" is the worst possible rule to live by.
  
  The worst thing about Satanism is that you have to do a lot of research to know whether that new group are nice goths for social justice or some kind of neo-Nazi paedophile ring or something. It’s like extreme metal bands.
Ave Satanas!
Hail Satan!
Ohhhhhhh I love vegan dishes
- Five years after the Satanic Temple of the United States made headlines — and unleashed a wave of panic — when it was designated a church, a similar organization in Chile, a conservative country where half of its population of 18 million identifies as Catholic, is asking the government to recognize them legally as a religious association.
  According to the article this is a similar organization, not The Satanic Temple.
  
  Wouldn't it be funny though if the confusion was just because in Spanish they put the adjective after the noun?
- They're not related to TST at all.
- You can't even get it right, so you might want to ask yourself?
