We know that satan is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). He is a counterfeiter, never having created anything himself, but only copying and perverting what God has made. Satan promotes a counterfeit gospel. (2 Corinthians 11:3, 4), raises up counterfeit ministers (2 Corinthians 11:13-15), perverts doctrine into a counterfeit doctrine (2 Timothy 4:3-4, Galatians 1:6-7), even has a counterfeit communion table (1 Corinthians 10:19-21), has a counterfeit power of lying signs, wonders and miracles (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10), even promotes a counterfeit messiah (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4).

Our loving God gave us the grace to follow Him. I sincerely pray you have praised Him for that grace. The best way to see through counterfeit gospels, gods, doctrines, activities, and commandments, are to know the real ones through and through. Read the Bible each day, practice memorizing scriptures. Pray deeply in your walk with the Lord, not just quickie hello prayers or “I want” prayers seeking things from Him, but giving Him your worship and devotion. Seek His face. If you possess the REAL Spirit, sealed inside you, not the fake belief that leads to destruction in the Lake of Fire, you will be able to spot the counterfeit when it comes along. And it will!
The reality of the existence of Satan is not directly experienced by the world, for he operates through counterfeit religions (founded by him) that are seen as acceptable religious entities as alternatives to the Christian faith – and this is enshrined in the constitution of virtually country in the world. It says, “Freedom of Religion”, meaning, we (as a government of a people) don’t accept the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for the citizens of our country. All other religions should be equally respected. And by this same clause they separate the Church of Christ from State.
In essence, they are saying, “We reject Christ. We accept Satan.”.

Hello,
Thanks for commenting. I’m not sure I understand all this…
The reality of the existence of Satan is not directly experienced by the world,
We DO experience satan in this world. he is god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), and he has total access to humans as far as Jesus will allow. Example: Job.
for he operates through counterfeit religions (founded by him) that are seen as acceptable religious entities as alternatives to the Christian faith –
Yes, and all pagans/non-Christians accept the false religions as true.
and this is enshrined in the constitution of virtually country in the world.
“Every” constitution in the world? This might be too sweeping. I’m not familiar with every Constitution.
It says, “Freedom of Religion”, meaning, we (as a government of a people) don’t accept the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for the citizens of our country. All other religions should be equally respected. And by this same clause they separate the Church of Christ from State.
There is a difference between freedom OF religion and freedom FROM religion. Our First Amendment (Not Constitution) simply states that the State will not form a religion nor prohibit anyone from practicing it. Here it is verbatim:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
In essence, they are saying, “We reject Christ. We accept Satan.”
We? Who is ‘we’? Non-Christians, yes. Christians, no, we aren’t saying that.
