You will never see an unbeliever question if Satan exists or not. Scroll through religion questions and answers. There is not one question reguarding Satan's existence.

Skilled test takers notice the words "always" and "never" as likely signs that a claim is false. But you may well have a valid point. Let's consider each of the three.
As to the existence of Jesus, no serious scholar can doubt it. The evidence for the historical Jesus is simply overwhelming, not only in well preserved Christian writings, but also in nonchristian works, e.g., by Josephus and Tacitus.
As to the evidence of Yahweh, the Creator of the universe, that must be inferred from the evidence of intelligent design in the universe and from prophetic statements, especially from Jesus, who validated his claims by rising from the dead (another multiply attested phenomenon).
The evidence for Satan comes strictly from revelation. Jesus faced down Satan in his temptations, warned Christians about Satan, and routinely cast out demons as a central work in his ministry. The biblical evidence explains Satan or Lucifer as an angel of light, the leader of rebellious angels who, in their pride, wanted to be equal with God. Satan's modus operandi is to infect humans with the idea of their own importance:
Gen. 3:4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

We have quite enough time keeping up with the big name imaginary beings you make up to have time to specifically disbelieve in all your other nonsense.
But if it helps - and for the record - the chances that satan exists are nil, zero, 0%, nothing at all. He is a fiction, a nonsense, an inanity, an excuse for bad behaviour and nothing more.
And the same applies to god. jesus. the holy spirit. yahweh. allah. The lot of them. All bunk. All nonsense. All entirely non existent.

Hi. NON-believer, here.
Just a quick FYI...If you don't believe in God, you CAN'T believe in Satan. It is impossible to have one without the other.
But, to answer your "question"...Jesus was a man, you also CAN'T question his existence for that reason.
And, the reason why noone questions Satan's existence is because we attribute greed, selfishness, hatred, lying, stealing, and things of that nature to....Satan. And, unfortunately, we have FAR too many witnesses to HIS miracles everyday.

You never hear unbelievers question the existence of the tooth fairy either. Its just a given once you realize the whole "god" mess is a sham.

Don't be ridiculous. If god doesn't exist, common sense would automatically lead you to conclude Satan doesn't exist.

Well, if unbelievers don't believe in any deity...then they won't believe there is a satan. Now what would you like to know?

I think you're not quite understanding what we atheists do not believe in.
I'll type slowly.
We do not believe in gods - all gods in our common language are invisible - some are good and some are bad and some aren't too sure where they fit but they're still worshiped as gods so we don't believe in them either.
Now if you want to name these Invisible Sky Critters thatsa nice but hardly relevant to a non-believer of Invisible Sky Swoopers.
Again – I’ll type it slowly; atheists do not believe in gods.

I think Chloe is comforted by something that she thinks makes her better than other people. Anyway, just cuz we don't question Satan's exitence doesn't mean we believe in him. Are you trying to say Atheists are Satanic?

Satan only exists in the minds of christians.
Unbelievers do not believe in Christ or Christianity.
I think that covers it.
Thank you.

Brother the greatest trick SATAN ever worked on earth is convincing the world he does not exist.
