Or does he just allow us to do it of our own free will?

No, god was the one who said, "follow me or I'll kill you" Satan just said "ahh screw it, I'll just take the people who think for themselves".

The devil doesn't give us free will! God does the devil just gives us nothing but fear, a life of misery and eventually death.And if your saying in your Q. that God published the Bible U have a lot to learn & God does not demand is to worship him, again free will it's or choice.

No. He doesn't have to because people would rather do wrong than right anyways. God created us and wants us to do as He does. The devil only does bad things for us and wants to turn you away from God and he's doing a good job these days but Jesus will come back soon to take all the saved people so that people will finally see that He is real and wants you to come to Heaven too.

Yes - there was a Church of Satan located in a nearby city where I grew up and they had their own Bible, which could be bought in the local bookstores and they had their own hymnals. They had stained glass windows in their church - I was under the age of 12 and just remember a few details - we did not go into the building, but drove past it - being a Pastor's daughter it was quite frightening - it had become quite an issue in our area as their were being many satanic rituals and farmers were not happy nor were the local police departments. My father used it as an opportunity to teach our young people the reality of Satan and his influence. This was in the mid 70's.

If there is a God, then it only stands to reason that there is a devil. As far as I know, he never wrote any books himself, but I'm sure he inspired billions.
The devil doesn't need to write a book demanding that people worship him. Most folks come by that naturally.

No, he didn't as far as I know. But worship is just another word for love and the devil doesn't love us the way God does. In fact the devil hates all Gods creations. We were created in Gods image so why wouldn't God have feelings like we do and want to be loved in return?

He is the god of this world. 2 Corinthians 4: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. His ministers are ministers of righteousness and they have written many books telling us that we can do good works and please God. The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and He did it all. Salvation is a free gift. 2 Corinthians 11: 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11: 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Yes the devil or Satan does exist. He has followers that call themselves the church of satan and even have the Satanic Bible. I think it is in california.
But give your life to Jesus Christ. Resist the devil. He is a destoyer of people and souls.
