God created an 'angel' who eventually became 'Satan the devil'. Then after [He] satan wanted worship for himself.
When Satan tempted Jesus, he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a vision and offered “all this authority and the glory of them.” But there was a condition—Jesus first had to perform an act of worship before Satan. (Luke 4:5-7)
Instead Jesus said to the Tempter: “It is Jehovah [JHVH] your God you must worship [proskyne´o], and it is to him alone you must render sacred service [latreu´o].” (Matt. 4:10, NW; Luke 4:8)
Consider also when Jesus, speaking and including himself, said to the Samaritan woman: “You worship [proskyne´o] what you do not know; we worship [proskyne´o] what we know, because salvation originates with the Jews. . . . the genuine worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth. . . . God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:22-24, NW
According to the Bible, Satan is the god of this system of things, so that, whether the nations are aware of it or not, they serve him. (2 Corinthians 4:3, 4) This situation is revealed in the makeup of the present world system, which is built on narrow nationalism, hatred, and self-interest. It is organized the way Satan wants it—to keep mankind under his control. The corruption in government, the lust for power, the lying diplomacy, the armaments race—these reflect Satan’s debased personality.
The world subscribes to Satan’s unrighteous standards, thus making him its god. The throne of the wild beast will be overthrown when that beast suffers extinction and the Seed of God’s woman finally abysses Satan himself.—Genesis 3:15; Revelation 19:20, 21; 20:1-3.

Everything God created WAS holy when it was created. Satan choose to give that up, out of his own pride. So, he is no longer holy, but the advesary of mankind. Don't believe his lies. I'll pray for you.

We dont treat everything God created as Holy, only God is holy, even Lucifer knew that, that lust for power is what got him tossed out in the first place. In short, no.

first - i don't remember ever reading that we should treat everything that has been created as holy. that's the same as saying that we should worship slugs because god created them so they must be holy.
second - satan was exiled because he disobeyed.

Satan hates you and the whole human race. He tries to destroy every human soul he can. His aim is to separate as many people as he can from God, and drag them into Hell. Worship him and he will control you, and ultimately destroy you.

Greetings!!!
It is my opinion that everything in Gods creation has a Divine purpose, whether or not we understand it, but we worship God ALONE!!!

Doesn't the Bible also say do not make false idols? Ah, I got you there! We shouldn't worship anyone except God.

does anyone remember the bit where jesus told lucifer he couldnt die so lucifer said to jesus "jump off this mountain and if you survive all this land will be yours"? well he didnt jump so it must belong to lucifer.so how come there are visible places of worship for christ but if you want to worship the other guy its normally underground somewhere (or my neighbours house)

But then of course you would be disobedient to the Lord.
Got yourself into a contradiction. Your premise and reasoning is faulty.
