During his press conference yesterday when he signed this bill, he specifically said Satanists would not be allowed to participate:

"Some have said that if you do a school chaplain program, that somehow you're going to have Satanists running around in all our schools," he said at a press conference at a high school in Kissimmee…

"We're not playing those games in Florida," DeSantis continued. "That is not a religion. That is not qualifying to be able to participate in this."

That’s a lie. The IRS specifically recognizes The Satanic Temple as a church. The U.S. government recognizes religious labels like Humanist, Atheist, Agnostic, and Pagan. If groups representing non-theistic people decide to bestow the title of chaplain on anyone, they’re good to go.

It’s not the first time DeSantis has said something like this. Back in December, after a Christian destroyed a Satanic display in the Iowa Capitol, DeSantis said Satanism shouldn’t be recognized as a religion at all and that he would “chip in to contribute to this veteran's legal defense fund.” (That vandal has since been charged with a hate crime. His trial will begin in May. There’s no indication DeSantis has given him any money.)

3. he happily signed the bill disparaging communism

and if I'm not mistaken the communists picked and chose which religions people could belong too. Feel free to let me know if I am mistaken
