--A lawsuit was filed Thursday against Netflix Inc. (NFLX) and AT&T Inc. (T) unit Warner Bros. Entertainment by The Satanic Temple, which is objecting to the use of a statue representing the deity Baphomet in the series "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina," Reuters reported Thursday.

--The suit says the series' use of the statue "Baphomet with Children" violates trademarks and copyrights, and implies it "stands for evil," according to the report.

--The United Federation of Churches LLC, the formal name of The Satanic Temple, also claimed evil antagonists on the show were portrayed "in stark contrast to TST's tenets and beliefs," the report said.

--A Netflix spokesman referred questions to Warner Bros., which said the company doesn't discuss pending litigation, according to Reuters.
