Satanic Temple: IRS has designated it a tax-exempt church

SALEM, Mass. (AP) — The Satanic Temple says it’s been designated a church by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Salem, Massachusetts-based organization provided The Associated Press with a notice it recently received communicating its new tax-exempt status. The letter used a code that classifies it as a “church or a convention or association of churches.”
The group is now listed in an IRS database for tax-exempt organizations. An email seeking comment was sent to the IRS.
