A satanic temple revealed a controversial monument in Detroit on Saturday night. The eight-foot tall statue of a goat-headed Satan was unveiled in front of hundreds of ticketholders during a private event that was held in the city, according to Fox News.
The statue is described by the temple as "not only an unparalleled artistic triumph, but stands as a testament to plurality and the power of collective action."
The group added that the event "will serve as a call-to-arms from which we'll kick off our largest fight to date in the name of individual rights to free exercise against self-serving theocrats," according to CBS Detroit.
Ticketholders were initially told that the unveiling would be at the corner of Grand River and Warren avenues, but once they arrived they were taken to its actual location as part of the effort to hide the statue from potential protesters, according to Fox 32 News Chicago.
