==new answer== Satan or the devil is actually our own conscious ego which is responsible for all our doubts and insecurities. Until we develop enough understanding to use this energy as the push forward, as Jesus did in the wilderness, we are controlled by this conscious ego. In order to rise above the physical where the good stuff is, we must gain control of the conscious ego and our emotions, and learn to be still so we can percieve with more than the five senses. The conscious ego does everything it can to keep us at the low level of physical existence, caught up in the instant gratification syndrom.

There is power granted to all of us no matter what we believe or disbelieve. NO, you are not granted powers BY the devil for doing "devilish" things. If you decide to do evil you are merely the devils tool, or minion, and hence diminish what ever powers may have been granted you. The only power that Satan has is the power you give to him. Remember, he is the great deceiver. He is nothing without the evil that men do. Do not be fooled by empty promises. No, no power is granted.....
Satan does not have minions. He has followers just as the Christian God has followers
They are called "Satanist" If they are followers of Satan, then they are generally called Satan or devil worshipers. If they are followers of satanism which is different then they are refered to as a satanist.
Satanists.
NO. Muslims follow and worship Allah
Hmm... Illuminati for example... some other small Luciferianism people... Yet, Satan's followers are a TOTALLY different case, because of Lucifer and Satan having different characters and ways.
Yes Satan is in spirit form. He and his followers were cast out of heaven without receiving a body, and so they will remain in this state.
If you believe that God is omnipresent and omnipotent it follows that Satan is merely a tool of God. If God created all things, he created Satan and hell. Your question should be:If God is a loving and forgiving god, why did he create a creature like Satan and a place like hell?orDoes God care about his followers?
Eternal punishment in the lake of fire.
Jesus has conquered death and satan.
Demons are typically believed to be followers of Satan, so they are perceived to serve him rather than hate him. In many religious beliefs, demons are considered to be malevolent beings that carry out Satan's will.
God is in power of all.
In Folklore, Imps are mischevious little creatures who cause havoc.
