'Christ Bearer'?
Well, you know how it is stated at times that some person's are not suited for ministry work?
This is someone that I reason 'probably', 'somehow' qualifies in that category. Just from a few documented cumulative points...
I just doubt he would make the cut.

'Satanic inmate suing Nevada jail for religious discrimination... which includes his right to ICE CREAM
Alex Snelson claims he can eat only 'whole foods' without byproducts or processing additives
He listed ice cream as one of those foods on a handwritten legal complaint'

'A Satanic inmate has filed a federal lawsuit accusing his Nevada jailers of violating his constitutional rights by denying him meals adhering to his strict pagan diet.
Alex C. Snelson, 33, argues in the lawsuit that denying him meals without byproducts and processing additives force him to either starve or go against his religion. He lists ice cream as being one of those foods.
Snelson made the accusations in a hand-written complaint filed to the U.S. District Court in Reno, and insisted ice cream is one of the 'whole foods' his religion permits him to eat.'

Snelson said he is a member of the Church of Light in Chino Hills, California.
There is no readily available record of such a church existing
A leader of a leading international Satanic organization also questioned Snelson's claims.
The Church of Satan, founded in San Francisco in 1966 by Anton Szandor LaVey, allows its members 'to choose whatever diet is pleasing to them,' said Magus Peter H. Gilmore, a high priest at the church. The church website says it is the 'original Church of Satan' dedicated to the 'acceptance of man's nature as an animal living in a cosmos that is indifferent to his existence.'
It adds that Satanism is 'not Devil worship. There is no belief in God, Satan, the soul, the supernatural or in any form of afterlife.' Devotees are permitted to enjoy ice cream.'

Is his stated religious organization an actual church or actual religious movement in which religious rights, in particular, within a Western democratic context, in this case United States law and constitution, should provide specific food related rights connected to religious worship?

If in this case a person is not least significantly connected to a publicly known religious organization the issue seems to be more in regard to supposed individual rights to whole foods, as opposed to supposed religious rights to whole foods.
If these type of individualistic religious rights were granted based on private religion, it could create organizational problems in public places both public and private sensor. Many inmates could claim a personal religion that is supposedly affiliated with a known religious organization, such as Satanism in this case, but in reality just follow a personal, suppsoedly 'ethical', religious system to suit self.
Each person entitled to their own diet, there own menu.
This could take on other public levels as well, such as corporate.
A waste of public money and time, which is money.
Romans 13 Biblically allows the state, in whatever form that may be, not necessarily nation state, to maintain law and order including through the use of the sword. Here I reason Biblically, order would include a denial of questionable religious claims in regard to rights.
My religion demands that I eat chocolate coffee cake daily and it is my legal and constitutional right to receive that at my corporate work five days a week.
