They believe people should be free to worship and be whoever they are and that religion should play zero part in politics. Really agree with their whole message, I didn't realize until I watched it that I was a Satanist all along.
The branding is intentionally meant to provoke people and draw attention to people who crave it. I personally don't care, but let's not pretend that there was any diplomatic or well meaning message behind it. They were the original edgelords from before the internet was a thing.
