Satan doesn't need to have faith in God, because he knows that He exists. Satan was once the greatest angel in all of heaven; he had sixteen wings, in fact. But then he refused to do God's bidding at one point, since he was granted the gift of free will, and thus fell from heaven. That's like the second-in-command getting fired by the most prestigious business in the world (a rough analogy). Would you still have faith in the person who kicked you out of his land and disfigured you horribly? Then again, God allows Satan to torment and tempt humans, to a certain extent. I'm guessing that that implies that a sort of deal had been established between the two entities. Thus, I do believe that Satan has some faith--if that's what you would call it--in God. However, the question that comes to mind is whether or not Satan knows he will be permmanently wiped out of existence when the apocalypse and the judgment of man arrives. It is said in Revelations that Satan will take the form of a massive dragon and wreak havoc across the Earth. In the end, Satan and his army of demons wage a gigantic, heaven-wide war against the Archangel Michael and his army. This great war is also predicted in the Dead Sea Scrolls, another ancient religious set of documents. The answer to your question depends on the answer to this question, whether or not Satan knows he will be defeated. Maybe he's thinking, "I know I'm gonna get burnt to a crisp in the end, so, what the hell, I'll wreak all the havoc I can on Earth before then."

Yes I do. Satan was once one of God's angels who decided to try to outdo God and thought he was smarter. I truly believe that Satan has much faith in God and nov because of his greed and things chose to go against God and I know for 100% the faith Satan has is God shined brightly. The faith of knowing that he had done against God's will and faithfully he will always lose. Satan is not ever going to be anywhere close to our Precious God Almighty.

If you are asking does Satan think God exists, then probably yes, seeing as how Satan is a former angel who was cast out of heaven by God for trying to take God's power.

Faith is belief in something you can't see. Satan has seen God. He doesn't have faith. He has first hand knowledge of God.

Satan believes in God; as the scripture says, even the demons believe, and tremble. However, he would not have faith in God in the sense of trusting in Him for salvation. He knows his time is short and therefore in his hatred toward God and believers in Christ, he seeks opportunities to steel, kill and destroy.

satan doesnt need to have faith in God...for the simple fact he has lived and worshiped God face to face....he knows that God is real...it is not faith to him but a fact that God is real.....and still he turned away and got all big headed and thought he was more worthy than God the one who created him.....sad isn't it.....

Not sure if faith is the word I would attribut to him. But I am sure Satan is pretty well aware he's going to lose since it has already been foretold.

We're all Satans for practicing logic instead of faith. And you know what? Without Satan life would be meaningless as it is euphoric.

Satan/Lucifer was in Heaven before he was cast into Hell. He knows God and The Bible better than any human or Scholar.
