In the Illinois State Capitol rotunda, where there’s already an atheist display and Nativity scene due to the state government’s open forum, there is now a gorgeous Satanic display that says “Knowledge is the Greatest Gift” and features a woman’s hand holding an apple while a snake surrounds it.

It was designed by artists Holiday Gerry and Rosa Posa.

Dave Druker, spokesman for the secretary of state, said the Chicago-based Satanic group had the right, just like religious organizations, to put up its display in rotunda.

That’s… the right answer! It can be weird to see state officials doing their jobs in cases like these, but there you go.
