I have contemplated what you said, I'd wager that satan could've been more moral than god, e.g. the adam and eve story, but that is pointless, its trying to build a reasonable explanation from a pile of bullshit. I could just as easily propose that god, a trikster gos will bring some atheists to heaven, because they did good on their own volition, than christians that did good only by fear of a deity. But that would be just making stories, evidence is what tells the difference between bullshit and reality.
EDIT: Nvm, you already been told about promoting links

The god notion itself actually does the suppression...the devil came about to explain those peoples who refused god's yoke.
Go Team Satan! :p
and to provide an explanation for theodicy probably.
I've also read that Jews picked up the Satan idea during the inter-testimental period from Zoroastrianism.
