Taxpayer-Funded Podcast Promotes Satanism, Paganism, and Animal Sacrifice

The outgoing Biden-Harris administration awarded a federal grant to a podcast that promoted the Church of Satan, paganism, a Cuban cult that practices animal sacrifice, astrology, an LGBT-friendly school of witchcraft, and other “magico-religious” beliefs. The series equates being filled with the Holy Spirit with demonic possession, compares Christian prayer with New Age meditation, warns that opposition to the occult can harm “innocent Satanists,” and insists it is possible to be a Christian and “to work magically with non-biblical spirits.”

The Democratic administration justified the grant on the grounds of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), claiming that “American magical beliefs and practices” represent a vital component of America’s “rich religious diversity.”

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $388,863 grant to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to produce the “Magic in the United States” podcast. The series would produce six episodes per season for three seasons between October 17, 2023, and last December 17, each highlighting different occult practices (often pointing out the LGBTQ status of its practitioners).
