Lucien Greaves

Early life Greaves was born in Detroit, Michigan, United States.

Greaves illustrated the 2003 reprint edition of the incendiary 1896 book Might Is Right. In a podcast promoting the new edition with publisher Shane Bugbee, Greaves made remarks some construed as antisemitic.

Activism Greaves has spoken on the topics of Satanism, secularism, and The Satanic Temple at universities throughout the United States, and he has been a featured speaker at national conferences hosted by American Atheists, the American Humanist Association, and the Secular Student Alliance.

Greaves has been instrumental in setting up the Protect Children Project, the After School Satan project, and several political demonstrations and legal actions designed to highlight social issues involving religious liberty and the separation of church and state.

Greaves has received many death threats, and deliberately does not use his legal name to avoid threats to his family.

Greaves and his colleagues envisioned The Satanic Temple as a "poison pill" in the Church/State debate: Satanists asserting their rights and privileges where religious agendas have imposed themselves upon public affairs, serving as a reminder that such privileges are for everybody, and can provide a religious agenda beyond the current narrow understanding. Greaves contributed the foreword to The Little Book of Satanism (2022) by La Carmina as well as artwork for multiple endeavors by Shiva Honey.
