Uh, no dork, we’re not going to do that.

The next step is to claim that, since you don’t believe that JC is Lord, you’re not an American. And if you’re not an American, they’re fine with persecuting you.
Yep. Not even speculation. Look how upset they get when someone is sworn into office on something besides a bible, as if being a Christian is a requirement to hold office. No shame or second thoughts.
There was a court case I read about decades ago in American Atheist, a publication by Madalyn O’Hair, who was a separation of church and state activist. It involved someone (maybe her?) testifying in a court case in Texas, and they didn’t want to swear on a bible. The judge determined that they couldn’t believe any testimony from someone who wouldn’t swear on a bible because they didn’t ‘believe in a future state of reward or punishment’… as in an afterlife in heaven or hell. Just nuts. That’s seriously the only thing keeping Christians moral? The threat of hell or promise of heaven?
From the satanic temple FAQ
DO YOU WORSHIP SATAN?
No, nor do we believe in the existence of Satan or the supernatural. The Satanic Temple believes that religion can, and should, be divorced from superstition. As such, we do not promote a belief in a personal Satan. To embrace the name Satan is to embrace rational inquiry removed from supernaturalism and archaic tradition-based superstitions. Satanists should actively work to hone critical thinking and exercise reasonable agnosticism in all things. Our beliefs must be malleable to the best current scientific understandings of the material world — never the reverse.Satan is evil
Then why destroy this innocent statue of Baphomet?
