    Religion has a tendency to cause cognitive dissonance. Many christians (depends on the denomination of course) don’t realize that they way they talk about satan is not that different from how polytheistic religions treat some gods.

        Most christians consider themselves monotheistic, but really satan is just another god to them. Just not one they like.

          Not really (unless someone greatly misunderstands theology). God has no opposite - Satan is merely an angel, who’s opposite is St Michael the Archangel. Revelation depicts Satan being destroyed without much of a fight.
