On Wednesday, Satanic Temple representatives met at the Arkansas State Capital to request that a Baphomet statue be placed on the Arkansas State Capitol grounds.
One of State Capitol Arts and Grounds Commission committees approved the temple's plan for the statue to be sufficient enough to move forward to a public hearing meeting.
The group says the satanic statue should be placed at the Capital because of the 10 Commandments statue that is already in place on the ground.
"If you are going to allow religious expression on public grounds, the government needs to remain neutral on viewpoint and they can't impose one religious belief over another," the Satanic Temple representative said.
