Monotheism is the "worshipping" of one God. People don't worship God and Satan at the same time. The Bible mentions that there are many Gods, but there is only one true God. Read it when you get the chance.

Monotheism is believing only in one God. Believing that Satan exists does not mean that you believe IN him. Christianity is monotheism because Christians believe that there is only one God, and Satan is a fallen angel. Christians do not believe that Satan is a God. Understand? I hope I helped!

The Biblical concept of Satan in no way places him on a par with God. The God of the Scriptures is the only self-existent being there is. All created things proceeded forth from Him and He is completely separate and distinct from any created thing. Satan is depicted in Scripture and Christian theology as an angelic being, called a cherub, who became enamored with his own beauty and wisdom and through pride decided to exalt himself to equal status with God. The word of God already describes his end. (Revelation 20:10) His moral power has already been broken at the cross, where Christ bore in Himself the full consequences of transgressed law, thus releasing mankind from Satan's "ace-in-the-hole", which was his assertion that if God damned him, but spared mankind the same fate, He would be unjust.
The concept of moral duality, that evil and good are equal opposites is in no way compatible with the Bible doctrine.

Yes because those who worship God, while they acknowledge Satan's existence, they don't worship him, and vice versa. The concept of monotheism has to do with the God you worship.Besides, though some people do worship Satan, he isn't a god, but a fallen angel, a lesser being than God.

Monotheism - the doctrine or belief that there is only one God.
The idea of Monotheism can be easily contradicted by titles used in the bible.
If you believe there is one true god. And other entities may have titles of being gods or of power but they are just terms to describe that entity.

Monotheism is the belief in one god. Satan is not a god, he is an angel, a supernatural being, nowhere near a god.

Christians don't think Satan is a God. Satan only works through God's will. Besides, Satan is an angel, a lesser being.

Satan isn't a God, so it is monotheism, because you only believe and worship God

Satan is not a God. Satan is a fallen angel that has the power to tempt humans to sin and lead them away from God.
God gave us free will, we choose to do the things we shouldn't.

Satan is just another one of God's creations, just like you and I.
He is not equal to God in any way, but he has been given the ability and power (by God's leave) to lead people astray because that was his initial reason for being spared. His life was spared by God to prove to Him that he is a better creation than humans, but he will inhabit Hell on the Day of Judgment, just like all his unfortunate followers...
There is still just One and Only True God.
