There long have been Nativity displays, and menorahs, on various public properties, even inside courthouses, at Christmas to recognize the federal holiday.
In some locations now, the Satanic Temple is claiming it has a free speech right to promote Satan in the same locations.
But one lawmaker in Iowa says that’s not necessarily so in his state, as the state Constitution specifically recognizes “One Supreme God.”
It is the Post Millennial that documents how Brad Sherman, a member of Iowa’s legislature, is demanding Gov. Kim Reynolds remove the current Satanic promotion from the state’s Capitol.The display is a caped statue of Baphomet with a black and red “holiday wreath” displaying a pentagram.
It was placed by the Satanic Temple.
“The outrage and disgust for this satanic display is widespread, but few people think there is much that can be legally done about it because of free speech and freedom of religion. However, I disagree,” Sherman said.
The Iowa Constitution, the “supreme law of the state of Iowa,” establishes the legal foundation for all other laws, he said.
