Is it possible for Satan to insinuate himself into religion?

Many religions view Satan as a deceiver. Thus if you believe in a Great Deceiver, how can you be sure that what you are told in any religious study class is correct?

Absolutely it is. Assuming that God and Satan both exist, this would lend credence to the Christian and Jewish religions, which is the one that teaches about a monotheistic God and a Satan. This would be some indication that the other religions are false and, therefore, not from God. Who would encourage a false religion? Satan would.

Now, assuming that is true, would/could Satan infiltrate Christianity/Judaism. You bet. Satan peddles falsehood. Falsehood is much easier to sell if it is mixed with some truth. Just like no one would swallow poison if it were called poison, but might if it were mixed with orange juice.

The Bible teaches to avoid false teachings. Where do those come from? Satan. The more falsehood Satan can get people to accept, the further people get from God.

Modern Christianity contains falsehoods and many Christians are misguided. This is the impact of Satan.

Satan is a made up being created by early Christians to demonfy the old Pagan Gods. Thats why he looks like Pan and Herne etc. Satan is not real.

I do believe Satan has insinuated himself into every religion, every person on the planet. And we can see this clearly by all of the terrible things going on in the world. We are all fallen, all sinners and if Satan is indeed the father of lies (as the Bible claims him to be in John 8: 44) then it would follow that all of the lies (including the ones that other religions believe about God) are going to be lies that he (and his followers, demons) have put suggested.

So, yes, Satan's lies and followers are found everywhere. Do not underestimate him.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Yes. In fact, only one of this religion can be "the real one". (We can't know for sure which one, although we all like to think we have the true religion). Then all the other religions may be insinuated by Satan, to distract people from the true path. In my opinion, he succeeded until now, but God will have the last word!

I strongly believe so from a Muslim point of view. Islamically, people are exposed to attacks of the devil at all times. Even prophets are exposed to them, as there is a verse in the Quran in the miracle of Yaseen stating that a prophet forgot about a whale (long story) because Satan made him forget it.

In Islam, people are exposed to Satan's effects. Satan plays with thier emotions and desires and sets trap for them. Muslims are expected to be woed by Satan and must try to fight him by doing thing following the instructions of God.

There is a word in Arabic called "Bedaa" which refers to rituals and holy sayings of the prophet that were added to Islam but are non-Islamic. For example, many people believe that the prophet Mohamed has said something about the value of the seads of the mellon, when in reality this "Bedaa" was created by a mellon seller hundreds of years ago to encouarge people to buy his mellons. As you see, this is not Islamic but found itself into Islam somehow. Also, a backbone of Islam is that men can marry non-Muslim women while women cannot marry non-Muslim men when the Quran clearly states that both are discouraged from doing that.

Satan has successfully infiltrated many religions but I won't specify which ones. Satan finds a way to corrupt people in any way.

Yes, Satan can do that as long as God allows him to. He can even create religions if he thinks that he can get away with it. Not only can he infiltrate, but he can in a sense create religions and denominations.

Satan can permeate into anything, religion or non-religion, if the people there let him.

Remember that he only has power if you give it to him. He tempts us all the time, puts pressure, makes you feel bad; it is constant and never stops. This is why we need the grace of God to protect us. If we stay close to God and keep ourselves from sinning, Satan has no power over you.
