The Devil exists. We know that since the very beginning he was there, deceiving our first ancestors. He knows the human soul very well. He observed the most hidden desires while tempting the human being. The evil spirit is hidden. It deceives while in many occasions it is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And it likes to be ignored by people, for than the damage is even bigger. Oh, poor people, those who overlook this fact! He can scent the innocence in people. The purest the soul the more valuable it will be. Don’t take him for granted. He might be dirty and condemned but he is not shy; he is rather wise and can use his tricks to drag people away from the bright path, making their lives questionable. He is the “father of the lies” and only “one person” can fight him: our almighty Lord, the Creator of the universe. This book tells the story of three innocent children and their families, to whom the Devil presented himself, stalking and inflicting torment upon them. This is not a work of fiction. All the facts are real. The characters’ identities were preserved.

In this book-length study of The Satanic Temple, Joseph Laycock, a scholar of new religious movements, contends that the emergence of "political Satanism" marks a significant moment in American religious history that will have a lasting impact on how Americans frame debates about religious freedom. Though the group gained attention for its strategic deployment of outrage, it claims to have developed beyond politics into a religious movement. Equal parts history and ethnography, Speak of the Devil demonstrates why religious Satanism is significant to larger conversations about the definition of religion, religious freedom, and religious tolerance.
