Belief in The Devil in 2015

[RobbyPants]

So we know there are still a large number of people in the world who believe in God and the influence he exerts on the universe, but how many still believe in Satan being the overseer of evil? He seems to be mentioned far less than God in discussions that I've seen, and I've barely seen his name come up even in discussions about Hell

Really, I only ever see him coming up in discussions when

• Christians don't like the way some facet of society is acting.
  
• To try and squash the doubts of believers.
  

Satan is a good scapegoat to blame the failings of a religion that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

And perhaps more interestingly, what do you make of him as a being in and of itself? What do you think are his reasons, his motivations, what makes him tick? Aside from him being Evil Incarnate, of course, I mean what do you think he does day to day, kind of thing.

My wife is Christian, and she doesn't believe Satan exists. She doesn't believe hell exists, either. I suppose one of these days, when I get a chance, I could ask my dad how he feels about Satan. Actually, while I'm thinking about it, I'll post the question on a Facebook group I'm in. I might find something useful to report.
