As long as you're on God's side and not Satan's, you'll always win. The Bible says that narrow and cramped is the road leading to everlasting life and few are the ones finding it. As for the people worshiping Satan....they won't be stopped until God stops it.....for good. God's Kingdom will soon put an end to all that...and ALL people that aren't worshiping Him in a way that's pleasing to Him. But how can you do that if you can't find the true religion? The answer is found at the link below. Please take a moment to read the short article that the link directs you to. Everything is supported with a scripture.

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 Gods 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.

Well, the Army of God claims more than 10,000 members. I don't know if I believe them. The population of the Army of Satan is...(let me do some looking here...)
Zero.
Well I'll be darned! It turns out that Satan is just a part of your fevered imagination. False alarm.

The description of Satan in Ezek. 28:12-17 reveals that he was once a cherib (v.14,16). As an angel, we learn that he had a throne (Isa. 14:13) and he wanted to exalt it above God's throne. It was this attempt at trying to overthrow God's authority that caused him to be expelled from heaven.
Satan has brought his throne and kingdom of fallen angels to this earthly realm to try to deceive people and lead them in rebellion against God. In Matt. 12:22-29, Jesus said that Satan has a kingdom and even the Pharisees recognized that he is the ruler of the demons (v.24). In John 12:31, Jesus called him the ruler of this world and in John 16:11 the prince of this world. He is also called "the prince of the power of the air" (Eph. 2:2) and the "god of this world" (2 Cor. 4:4). In all likelihood, when Satan was kicked out of heaven, the fallen angels kept the same or similar ranks of authority as they had in heaven, but end it to perform evil ends. Compare Eph. 3:10, referring to holy angels, with Eph. 6:12, which refers to evil angels.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it. Joh 1:1-5

Dude! Can't you read? Only a third of Heaven followed Satan. That means two thirds of Heaven followed God. Do the math.

God has already won, and satan and his demons know their time is short, but i'd have to say that there are vastly more unsaved people than saved. But God has already won and He is all-powerful. People have to hear the Gospel and see Christians living obediently and the Holy Spirit will work in their hearts and some of them will get saved.

Satan doesn't really exist. He's a figment of your imagination. Just be a good person, don't go overboard, and don't let a fear of a made-up Satan scare you out of living a fun life.
