Church of Satan Arson, Dangers of Conspiracy Theorizing
A 2021 arson attack on a Church of Satan residence in Poughkeepsie, New York, serves as a warning about the potential violent outcomes of conspiracy theorizing.

While questioning mainstream narratives is valuable, the habit of identifying secret groups as enemies can lead to real-world harm against marginalized individuals.
