How do you argue against this?

Your question takes it as a given that Satan exists. Most who do not believe in God do not believe in Satan.

Yes well 1st you hae to believe in the bible, God and Satan and as we all know this to be true what you say there are some that just simply have it all figured out on their own, they don't need God or his written word to guide them, they will follow along with the concept that "I can do better than that", just as someone else said once before he got kicked out of somewhere..... hmmmmm

i may be mad too. i'm with you on that one. that's no longer your instructor's place to declare which Gods are and are not genuine-- that's no longer what he's paid to do. And that's no longer your friends' place to initiate preaching to the class. Yeah, human beings nonetheless have faith interior the Roman and Greek Gods. Pagans, we call them. Pagan is form of an excellent term for anybody who isn't in an Abrahamic faith and believes in greater desirable than one God, i think you ought to declare. diverse Pagans pay tribute to diverse Gods-- some shop on with the Roman deities, others the Mayan or Incan ones, others the Egyptian ones. relies upon on the Pagan.

Easy. This is the classic theist 'guarantee' of pseudo-rational falsifiability; a counterpart, if you will, to the falsifiability of a scientific theory. "I know people will disagree with me and this will only validate my claim". In science, it is "Here is my theory, it fits the facts, here are some suggestions to disprove it; it stands until something better replaces/expands on it".
The difference here is approach and the rules that apply to each. Saying I can predict disagreement with my claim could imply a number of things including that it is subconsciously known that the claim is weak, and that is the basis for disagreement with it; the solution is usually to surround oneself with like-minded people for comfort or false confidence in validity.
In science, there is no feeling associated with this, or at least the feeling must be completely deferred to consensus in rationality; a much stricter criteria for validating a claim IMHO!

If people don't believe in God, then they also don't believe in Satan as well, therefore god and satan don't exist.

And those who have no knowledge say: Why does not God speak to us or a sign come to us? Even thus did those before them say; (they said) the like of what such people say; their hearts are all alike. Indeed, We have made the signs (leading to belief in Him) clear for people who are sure. (2:118)

Yes God exists and he said there would be a time for Satan's reign. When this happens, and has been proved to have already do so, he would gather as many as he could for his reign will not last long and the righteous shall overcome him.

You assume that satan exists. If god created satan, but god never existed, satan can't exist.

It's very simple: there's no god AND there's no satan. Your "logic," if you can call it that, is flawed.

There are plenty of people that still do believe in God.
