You could get them to come to your side and hating god too, but why would you punish those who do? Wouldn't it be the Christians you would punish and hate as they are on the side of your enemy, god?
Where do we get our information on Satan? A book, supposedly written by god. Prof hasn't been able to demonstrate how he knows that the bible wasn't corrupted by Satan, but within the context of his religion, the only exposure to Satan that we have is essentially war propaganda from the other side, accomplishing the tasks of making Satan seem evil, and frightening people into joining the other side.
I suppose it's good propaganda, in that respect, but we really have no reason to take it seriously, and plenty of reasons not to.
