ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Satanic holiday display at the Minnesota State Capitol has some sounding the alarm but Gov. Tim walz says he can't take it down as it is protected by the First Amendment.

The Minnesota Satanists put up its holiday display at the Capitol Building in St. Paul over the weekend.

The group says on its website that members "champion the symbol of Lucifer as one of revolt against arbitrary authority and advocacy for the pursuit of knowledge." The group says members don't directly worship Satan or believe in Satan; instead, they called the display a win for "religious plurality."
