No. "Bad behavior" is a choice. Satan cannot control us unless we invite him... give ourselves over to him. Behavior as a choice can, however, be subconscious. It can be learned. Pavlov did the initial work on what is called reflex or conditioned, intuitive, behaviors. We can learn a system of reward and consequence from birth and therefore behave "badly" for a "learned" reward achieved before we were able to make cognitive "choice". By the way, there is not one verse in the Bible that advocates "good behavior" as the means to life with God. It is entirely arrived at by sacrifice.

The bible days that all of us have a sin nature. That includes me and I am a born again Christian.
I still sin, even though I hate it. Paul said, "the good I would do, I do not, the evil I would not do, I do". Even Paul the great apostle knew what it was like to sin and not want to.
However, if you are not born again through faith in Jesus Christ, there is only one other who has you in his grasp, and it isn't God. I know it's hard to hear, but it's true.

Apocalypse Explained 22.
Grace be unto you and peace. That this signifies the delight of truth and of good, is evident from the signification of grace, as being the delight of truth, of which more will be said in what follows; and from the signification of peace, as being the delight of the good of innocence and love (respecting which see the work, Heaven and Hell, where the State of Peace in heaven is treated of, n. 284-290). The reason why grace denotes the delight of truth, is because there are two things that go forth from the Lord, united in their origin, but divided in those who receive them. For there are some who receive Divine truth more than Divine good, and some who receive Divine good more than Divine truth. Those who receive Divine truth more than Divine good, are in the spiritual kingdom of the Lord, and are therefore called spiritual; but those who receive Divine good more than Divine truth, are in the celestial kingdom of the Lord, and are therefore called celestial. (Respecting those two kingdoms in heaven and the church, see the work, Heaven and Hell, n. 20-28.)

I'm a Catholic,and I don't believe in satan,hell,etc.The behavior that you call bad is resulting from your use of your freedom of choice.Your own decisions.

Satan is there for the convenience of those who don't want to seriously ponder theodicy (the question of evil and what it says about God's goodness) or take responsibility for the evil they do.

Your behavior and mine is human nature. Satan ain't gonna mess with you much until you start to consider christianity. why would he? If you never choose he gets you anyway so why bother.

No, but I'm not Christian. Satan does not have that kind of control over us. He is a lot weaker than that.
