In reaction to Chesapeake Public Schools authorizing the Good News Club, a Christian organization, for after-school gatherings, the After School Satan Club emerged as a non-theistic alternative. Some local parents expressed their desire to provide an inclusive option for their non-Christian kids, clarifying that the club's focus is not truly centered around Satan. The ACLU described the club as open to all students and offers programming—such as community-service projects, games, nature-based activities, and arts and crafts—that promotes virtues of benevolence, empathy, critical thinking, problem solving, creative expression, personal sovereignty, and compassion.
