No, or at least they shouldn't. Actually, if you go to a well versed church, you will discover that it is simply taught to live Christ like, which means to love ALL people regardless of their race, culture, religion, etc. They should teach to respect others and their beliefs. Unfortunately, those who are ignorant to anything outside of Christianity will typically hate what they don't know. Now, as a Christian, I will say that we do believe that you are saved by grace through Jesus Christ, therefore, if you do not believe in Jesus as your savior you are not saved.

Which of the following religions represents both good and evil by a deity?
Christianity
If Satanism is a real religion with morals etc like any other one why does no one stand up for it when people call it evil?
Because the majority of other religions teach Satan to be evil and no one seems to question this. Also, many sick people have done shameful things in the name of Satan, however this is just a cover up of their own evil, an excuse. I think you'll find, if researched, Satanism is a much kinder, tamer religion than for example Christianity. I think that you will also find that most things people have labelled to be Satanic, e.g-blood sacrifices, are ideas conjured up by Christians and other religions. In a religion there has to be good and evil-people just needed a deity to label as evil so they took the worlds most worshipped ancient religions, namely Paganism and such like, and labelled it as evil. Sadly, even today Satanists are looked down upon and labelled as evil simply because of ignorance.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all regard good as God's will, and all say that those who perform God's will are to be rewarded in heaven.

Christians and Muslims regard Satan as the evil adversary of God, seeking to tempt people to perform evil, while Jews see Satan as the loyal assistant of God, tasked with testing the righteousness of the faithful All three religions are faced with what philosophers call the problem of evil.
