Official Application: Satanic Temple Albany

Thank you for your interest in The Satanic Temple Albany (TST Albany). It is OK if you are new to Satanism, but we do expect you to be familiar with our ethos, to abide by the Seven Tenets, and to be committed to continuous and self-directed learning. We also expect a level of appropriate conduct. For more information, visit our Membership FAQs.

As a member we do expect some level of involvement with our congregation and events. Please only apply if you are a resident of New York State or live in western Massachusetts or southern Vermont. If there is a more appropriate congregation closer to you, you will be directed there. If you live south of Poughkeepsie NY, you should consider joining TST NYC. If you live west of Syracuse NY, you should consider joining TST Western NY

Please carefully read the following questions and confirm your understanding of the following statements. Applicants who do not align with these core TST values will not be considered for membership.

TST is a religious organization for nontheistic Satanists. We do not believe in the existence of deities, magic, spells, heaven, hell, souls, or an actual being called Satan.

Testing Application

TST is a religious organization, not a social justice organization or a catch-all activist group. Any community work or activism in which we might engage must be directly related to our Tenets, TST’s mission, and our religious identity. Many worthwhile causes exist that other organizations are better equipped to handle. If your primary reason for joining is for activism, you should consider getting involved in one of TST’s campaigns.

All members must respect the safety and confidentiality of TST Albany, its members, and its leadership.
