You're asking a question you establish is from a biased position, so you've stopped any possibility for an answer you're open to. "Satan" means the adversary, which is more a title as that is what Lucifer became to mankind and God. If you say it is a work by humans, those humans have the predictive ability of a deity based on their predictions, but then you'd need to study what was said and evidence, which I've never known anyone to do or be capable of. The one thing that convinced of God was how people rejected the notion with traits you never see displayed any other instance. It borders on the antitheist if not that, as I don't think atheism exists. People believe in themselves, objects, ideas, people, nature, ect.
If you start by asking what is Satan or Satanism when it's not a hard that to uncover, I can't say I believe the individual actually wants an answer.

@S.D.323 Why?
Where did God say he would make mankind not do harm to one another? To prevent us from making bad decisions? Our free will created the world we have just as Lucifer chose to rebel, we do it all the time. Him seeing al outcomes doesn't mean he makes them happen, but he can plan ahead of them for when a choice is made.
The irony of your statement is Jesus died for all man's sins, but you ignore that whole plan of salvation throughout the Bible and say He deserves to be hated. Just as we see all the time today people hate those that do good, put them in jail or cancel them, it's the same spirit that had people spit on Jesus and choose the murderer Barabas over someone innocent, that even a secular figure like Pilate realized, and he didn't believe.
The devil gets a free pass and is often worshipped by people that hate God, just to spite someone they don't think exists. How often do we neglect the poor, ignore the needy, hate family, friends and strangers and/or worse? We hate ourselves and are just projecting those faults.

@Paugose You are asking why God didn't make robots. Robots cannot love, it's just doing what you want it to. When you give something free will, it will choose to love you and has actual value. The cost of that was always the ability to rebel, which an angel did and mankind through his influence.
The next question is why does sin exist. Sin is rebellion against God and what he stands for which are on the commandments. Because it's hard to understand in relation to God for many, parents are included to be honored; if we can grasp that scale of respect and love, then we can apply that toward Him. The first four laws are our relationship with the one that created us, the last six are about our relationship with each other. If we rebel against the six which is immoral thoughts and actions to our fellow men, we then can understand how it's interpreted with the four toward God. So unless you agree with murder, adultery, false witness, ect. then we know why it's called the Law of Love.
You're referring to Jesus who became a man with same temptations, thus so we couldn't make the excuse that salvation was impossible. He never sinned not because he was God, but because if he did, the plan of salvation would have failed and all would be lost. So he denied himself the pleasures we have no issue with and then took on those sins on the cross.
Your concept of God is flawed and not biblical and aligns more with pagan or New Age/spiritualism. How do you define existence if not life to finite things, an awareness of your state of being. God is three persons of their own individuality in complete harmony. All things came from Jesus, the one that created, so it's more fitting to say existence came from God, not is God.
And your last assertion is not only false, but go against cult leader mentality, which I take it you're suggesting. Cult leaders seldom if ever martyr themselves. They will their followers, but you will find not many examples that kill themselves and a reason why we know the ones that have. And you're also saying Jesus was superhuman to not only convince Jews and Gentiles alike (if you can grasp that dynamic in societal and religious differences), but knew 100% that his death would lead to the faith being the largest in the world in the future. It's as if you're saying he had to be God in order to know that, because no cult ever lasts longer than their founder before fading into obscurity or abandoned because there is no foundation to the belief. They are built on manipulation of the weak to be used, exploited, completely opposite from the testimonies through history from various cultures.
