A visitor to the Illinois state capitol will find three holiday displays curiously juxtaposed: a Christmas tree, a menorah, and “an apple upheld by an arm which has been encircled by a snake” bearing the phrase “Knowledge is the greatest gift” on its base. According to the Catholic News Agency, that third display was put up by the Satanic Temple, and the state of Illinois is obliged “to allow temporary, public displays in the state capitol so long as these displays are not paid for by taxpayer dollars”. The Satanic Temple raised just over $1,500 for the display on GoFundMe, calling it “Snaketivity”.
