To the tune of "Happy Birthday"
Satan come to my door
Satan walk on my floor
Satan come in my apartment
Satan please come by more
Satan take away Christ's power
Satan neutralize Christ every hour
Satan help Christians reject Christ
Satan do this today
Men-a Men-a Men-a

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

"...Satan take away Christ's power
Satan neutralize Christ every hour..."
That has never happened and never will happen. And if you don't know what defeated means ask Satan. That's what Jesus did to him when He (Christ) was raised from the dead.

Too bad, Jesus is more powerful than Satan. And just to put on the record, I don't want to offend you, but I do not like that song.

Just because you don't believe doesn't mean that you should expect others to have the same belief. I respect your belief, you should respect mine. It's called living in America.
