How easy?
You typically register with your state as an incorporated religious organization, apply for an ein and then technically you don’t have to do anything else.
Religions get automatic 501c3 status.
Some will do an application anyway to give donors assurance. It’ll run you from 1000-1500 in user fees and accountant fees if you decide to.
But technically that’s not required.

You don't even need to prove that you actually have a doctrine or belief system.

Nope.
Although the irs sometimes investigates the organization if they think it has no legitimate religious nature and is being used as a tax shelter.
Those have gotten less in recent years, though.

It's a stunt because the Satanists are likely doing it to prove a point about the First Amendment and not because they are sincerely worried about the Boston city council securing Satan's blessing.
