You cannot have God without Satan, and Satan without God. So if one does not believe in God, there is no Satan and vice versa.

People can (and do) beleive in all sorts of non-sense.. so why can't they have a god without a devil (anti-god) Odin had his Loki, but Loki was an equal...

False. You can have Satan without God, and God without Satan. No proof has been offered that the two beliefs are mutually exclusive. So a person is free to believe in God alone, Satan alone,both, or neither.

False. God existed before Satan and he will exist long after Satan is gone.

sort of. In Judaism, Satan is not an evil independent force, but an employee of God's. So, yes, to have God means to haev Satan and vice versa but that doesn't mean anything bad.

False,if you believe and read his word then you'll read that God created all things. Including the angels,which satan is,although fallen. Satan chose to rebel against God and God has always existed even before satan. So in theory if He existed before he created the angels then why wouldn't he exists even if he never created them. "I am,I was and I am to come".

God existed before Satan, so yes you CAN have God by Himself!

Originally there was God, but no Satan. So it is not categorically impossible. But now that Satan exists, and both Satan and God will exist for all eternity, it is no longer possible.

You are assuming the first premise, "You cannot have God without Satan, and Satan without God", without proving it. While I do not believe in either, there is always the possibility of either or both.
Have a nice day.

God and Satan are both equally unlikely but they are independent of each other.

Nobody believes this. God supposedly created Satan, so obviously existed first.
Besides, belief in something has nothing to do with deciding if it exists or not.

True. I do believe in gods and goddesses but not just one god and not satan or the devil.
