I don't think you, or the sponsoring senator, or most Americans
know the first thing about satanism, the occult or witchcraft.
I don't know much about it either, but laws already exist that
prohibit the types of lawlessness you describe. Any American
should be able to worship any deity he/she wants to. If they break
the law in doing so that's another can of worms. The bill that
is refered to above is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, clearly.
