Well, at first glance that really doesn't sound too bad or even far off from my own outlook on how I would like to see the world. I do have some questions though

Definitely not correct. The Satanic Temple has seven fundamental tenets:

1. One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
2. The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

Who decides what is justice? Having been in legal battles before, both parties tend to feel they have justice on their side

3. One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
4. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
5. Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.

This I find a bit vague. Sience should decide belief? How does that work? According science, Satan should not exist. There is too much in this world science can't explain imo. Not trying to attack here btw, just genuine curiosity

6. People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
7. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word

Once again, who decides what's justice? And I guess that same question could be asked about wisdom.
