Even from the anti-theist perspective, I get why he did it. Not because he believes that this is genuine belief; but because he believes this is a mockery of his religion. And it is.
Even if you're a non-believer, the symbol is literally, intentionally representing evil itself. Every lie, every vice, every crime, every debauchery. Do you really want that being enshrined in a government building?
Enshrining a fucking Swastika would be literally a million times less evil than using Satan himself.
The problem is that it's not actually the symbol of evil, but the symbol of self-interest, at least from the genuine Satanist perspective.
But again, Satanism is a condemnation of Christianity, not an affirmative religion. A wiccan would actually make more sense.
I would like to see a statue of Anubis get built. That might be cool.
