Royal Navy recognises Satanism.
“There is nothing in the Queen’s Regulations that forbids practising Satanism and people are entitled to their own religious beliefs” - Captain Russell Best RN, commanding officer of HMS Cumberland.
So, does the Royal Navy have to pay for the black cockerels? Will our NATO friends be comfortable going into battle with the Dark Lord by their side?

Whoops. Should have said - via boingboing

Ensign LeVay? Is Satanism acknowledged by the US military? I know a few other non-mainstream religions are.

" The Church of Satan " ( LaVey style ) was recongnized in the US military a long time ago.

Sweet! Praise the goat! *makes victorious devil horns*

Cue "Devil in Davey Jones" jokes....

Why not? Satan is as fictitious as God, after all.

That's the problem with superstition: once you recognize one, you have to recognize them all.
