To embrace the name “Satan” is to avow skepticism in the face of all things, even — especially — that which is held sacred. To stand forth as a “Satanist” is to rend from the persecutory, affrighted mob a convenient out-group label, demanding that individuals be judged for their concrete actions, not their fealty to arbitrary social norms and illusory categorizations.
Satanism is not mindless abandon and depravity, but a philosophy that drives us to lead fruitful and dignified, epicurean lives. Satan, the symbolic force of design that would urge humanity toward refined pleasures of the Arts and Sciences. Satan, who first brought the fruit of knowledge to Humankind that thereafter we might live not as naked brutes in the wild, but develop our cultural splendor into ever more aesthetically and technologically advanced heights. Ours is the Humanistic Satan who would sacrifice His own Heavenly residence so that Humanity might learn to understand and enjoy the physical world they inhabit.

everything is fine for atheist as long as it's not an abhramic god,
...but Georges, Satan, lucifer, the light bringer, the most high, isn't a god, he defied the uppercase G and he was cast down on earth,
he's just an simbolic energy for good, science and human kind, did we say "science" and humankind, the lhp is just something we practice like buddhism, we do no sacrifice children like those crazy Canaanites..ooh it's cool then...

But still, read their website, does it really sound that bad? Better or worse than Christianity?

From what i gathered from the Satanic Bible (granted i only read a third of it before i got bored), Satanism is more of a negation of Christianity (and i suppose other religions) than it is a religion in of itself.
So, essentially, one could see this proposal for a Satanic statue as counteracting the presence of the Ten Commandments statue. A statement of "Be careful what you wish for" to those who ok'd the presence of the Christian statue.
One thing is for sure, it'll look a lot cooler than the Christian one

It's only fair, if Christian symbols are permitted.
