The thing is that Revelation doesn't actually say that 666 is the number of Satan. It just says that it's the number of the beast, however Revelation 13 talks about two beasts, and doesn't state that either of them are the devil. That's just an assumption that Christians made.

But given all the other crazy crap in Revelation, it's a wonder anyone puts any stock in the 666 nonsense at all.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
