God doesn't exist, neither does the devil.
Answer
The atheistic stance is a logically valid one. However, if you are looking for an answer within a religious context, consider this:
When God gave man free will, it allowed evil to exist and created a divide between the perfect God and imperfect creation.The role of the Satan is to enforce that divide.
Contrary to popular belief (mostly as the result of Paul's misunderstanding of both Judaism and Christianity when he Hellenized it and encorporated many pagan ideas later in the New Testament), the Satan is an agent OF God not acting in opposition. While it's true that "Satan" (properly Shaitan) translates as "the adversary" it is not of God, but of man. Think of Satan as being like a white blood cell, purging creation of illness and disease.
By over coming temptations and enduring trials and tribulation, mankind proves it's holiness and is admitted back into the divine presence so thatnwe can become as God intended- truly in his image. If we were to be admitted into the presence without first being purified, we would be totally annihilated. Even Jesus had to endure trials and temptations to prove his holiness before he could be admitted back into the presence of his father.
Man creates evil, not Satan. Satan tempts us but can not lift so much as a finger against us.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he doesn't exist?
It's a quote from French poet Charles Pierre Baudelaire.It has to do with ontological arguments. In Christianity, God is said to be omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and omnibenevolent (all good). But how could a being such as this exist if there are disasters and evils in the world? A purely good being that knows all and has the power to stop evil would not allow them. Ergo the devil must exist to explain evil acts. Without the devil, you can't have God.So by convincing the world that he didn't exist he convinces the world that God doesn't exist.

Is the devil's name Satan?
To Christians and Muslims, Satan is the devil. To Jews, Satan is the loyal assistant to God; he tempts people in order to provide God with evidence of the righteousness of the faithful.

Is God fake or is the Devil fake?
If you are asking for an agnostic's point of view, the response is generally along the lines of "I don't see any hard evidence that god or the devil exist, but I have not completely ruled out the possibility of their existence." However, most adherents of the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) will state god and the devil are absolutely real as articles of their faith. Atheists will tell you god, the devil and other supernatural beings are categorically fake.
Where can you find where the devil protected god?
Nowhere. How would the devil protect God when God created the devil? (Ezekiel 28)
