Christian parents told to keep their kids away from Satanic clubs

When parents send their children to school, they are supposed to have peace of mind that their kids would not be subjected to ungodly influence or teachings.

However, times appear to have changed. Groups that do not believe in God are threatening to infiltrate educational institutions in the United States, seeking to poison the delicate minds of schoolchildren.

The conservative Christian group Family Research Council (FRC) has advised parents across the U.S. to keep their kids away and not let them fall into the trap of so-called "After School Satan Club" that The Satanic Temple group is planning to launch in public schools.

Travis Weber, the director of FRC's Center for Religious Liberty, said the best way to deal with this "Satan club" is to just ignore its existence.

He explained that in reality, the goal of this club is not primarily to promote the worship of Lucifer, but to trigger outrage and cause Christian clubs to be shut.

"These atheist and humanist activists simply don't like the fact that children could be exposed to the message of Christianity, and appear to want to pick a fight with Christians," Weber said in a blog post, as quoted by Fox News.

"They say they want religion totally eliminated from schools, and the group's homepage prominently displays: 'DONATE TO HELP US COUNTER EVANGELISM IN SCHOOLS.' Their main purpose appears to be to try to shut down Christian clubs in schools," he added.

The Christian group leader further said that the ultimate goal of this scheme is to wipe out clubs and groups that teach God to young children.

"They are aiming to do that by provoking school administrators into shutting down the limited public forum entirely," Weber explained.

"As the group's website states: 'Our goal, ultimately, is to place an ASSC in every school where the Good News Clubs, or other proselytizing religious groups, have established a presence," he added.
