A 24-year-old man and self-confessed satanist has been given a suspended fine of €250 for hanging posters in the windows of his home with the text ‘Burn the Church’, the Volkskrant reports on Tuesday.

The court in Utrecht ruled the man had incited violence against churches.
The man himself, David P from Mijdrecht, said he had nothing against Christians but did have difficulty with they way they try to force people to convert, the paper said.
The court said that even though P did not mean people should literally burn down churches, he had hung the poster in a prominent place and this could encourage others to set churches on fire.
