The United Federation of Churches, LLC has been involved in a number of [[lawsuits]] since its formation.


In 2018, the company sued Netflix Inc. and Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc. in the Southern District of New York over use of a breastless Baphomet statue with children in ''The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'', claiming defamation and that its intellectual property rights had been violated, harming its business reputation.<ref>''By misappropriating TST Baphomet with Children (which is a registered copyright and famous mark of TST) to publish this false and defamatory depiction of TST, Defendants have engaged in three classes of wrong: copyright infringement (Claim 1) trademark violation (Claim 2), and injury to business reputation (Claim 3).'' https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Netflix-Satanic-Temple.pdf</ref>

In the earliest filings, the only two officers listed were Misicko and Soling. However, in the May 2018 Restated Certificate of Organization, "Doug Mesner" was the registered agent and "Malcolm Jarry" was manager, with "Jarry" signing as the applicant; in 2019, Misicko was listed as registered agent but "Mesner" was also a listed officer along with "Jarry", who again signed the document. In 2020, Soling signed the annual report, and "Jarry" was listed only in regards to the real property.

In 2021, again only Misicko and Soling were listed as officers and signatories of the annual report.[3]

"The Satanic Temple" Federal EIN 46-5030690 is distinct from The Satanic Temple Inc, FEIN 82-3404757, which the Massachusetts Secretary of State lists as owned solely by Misicko. In 2019, "The Satanic Temple Inc" became the first Satanic church to achieve Public Charity Status under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(i), "a church or a convention or association of churches." [4][5] However, GuideStar.org lists "The Satanic Temple" and an EIN matching "The Satanic Temple Inc" to have the principal officer "Lucien Greaves" (sic) and co-principal officer "Malcolm Jarry" (sic), but it's not obvious what documents that references as the Form 990s were not publicly available.[6]
