As Satan isn't REAL, Hinduism and Buddhism couldn't possibly be "his" work as, once again, "he" doesn't exist.

Nope!
Hinduism is the work of Vedanta philosophy
Buddhism is the work of Gautama Buddha
Satan is the work of the Abrahamic Faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam)
To say that Hinduism and Buddhism are the works of Satan is to also say that they are the works of one or more of the Abrahamic Faiths.
Hinduism is older than Judaism, therefore Hindusim can not be the work of the Judaic Satan.
Buddhism, which originated out of Hinduism just as Chirstianity originated out of Judaism, is older than Christianity and often holds to teachings echoed by Christ Jesus 500 years before Christ; therefore, Buddhism can not be the work of the Christian Satan. It could be argued that Buddhism is the work of the Judaic Satan, however, the similarities between Buddha and Christ prove the argument false.
Satanism, as a religion, is a 16th century invention and, therefore, could not influence either Indian religion.

No actually I think that Christianity is more likely to fit that mold that the ones that you mentioned.
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.

Actually no when the actual message is placed without any alterations as it was initially revealed to the people but yes the way it was over turned with alterations which are actually not TOLD IN REALITY...For egsample worshipping most thingz in the world(Animals, birds, trees & human-coz god is somewhat unique and cannot be treated as equal to these and he is apart from all these and who has supernatural powers which animals, birds, trees & human doesnt have) and all this cast problems by treating people very differently among the same community and religion...
Missunderstanding the real concept...

No I don't. In actuality both those religions existed before Christianity came into being. Since Satan is associated with Christianity, there's is no way either of those could have been created by him.

Buddhism is not a work of satan, it is a quest of self purification and betterment. How can it be satanistic if you don't even worship anything.

It would be idiotic if Hinduism was - you're supposed to accept all other religions. Wouldn't make sense, would it? And by the way, what a bigoted question.

It is from humans that allowed themselves to believe in a lie . It is highly possible that they created them to have something to believe in or someone created them to mislead man away from the truth . I would say satan had a lot to do with it .

ONLY A SADIST SATANIC WORSHIPPER WOULD SAY THAT HINDUISM OR BUDDHISM IS A WORK OF SATAN.
