Well in honestly some see it as the case but here's the thing about God: he ordered genocide, flooded the world, hardened a man heart then punished him for it (the pharaoh and killed all first born sons as the punishment despite hardening his heart to where he wouldn't listen), ruined Jobs life by taking everything then even after killing his children, servants and cattle allows the devil to give him diseases all to basically win a bet and prove Job would still praise him. I have a hard time accepting a deity that does this yet says "I'm benevolent because I say so".

Satan is only able to in faith do cause God allows it and in some variations only is doing what he was asked to do and test mans faith. Granted some may believe he may count I'm not sure I can agree considering what God does. Others also believe Satan is made of evil which varies but some argue it's all choice because of supposedly free-will was given to him others feel he's incompetent in the fact he isn't strong enough to be an actual challenge for God and at any moment could be stopped. However in media it can always vary where he's an equal or God doesn't necessarily exist. Kind of confusing honestly but that's what I see at least.
