*Disclaimer: This answer contains some information that has not been authenticated. I hold no liability for any false information posted, To the best of my knowledge this is all factual information.
In The Jewish Faith the angel known to all as "Satan, or Lucifer" is the angel God ordered to Tempt the hearts of Man.
God would not create a servant (angel) if this angel would turn on him, God did not give the angels free will.
God is all-knowing, he would have known if the angel known as Satan would turn on him and he would have Destroyed him rather then allowing him to live on earth where he could lead gods people away from him, God.
So it stands to reason that Satan would be working for God, and that the Catholic Church just made it look like Satan was who they say he is, Just like they made him look like the Greek god Pan to Convert people. The Bible says that Lucifer was the Most beautiful of the angels and Gods favorite, so naturally he wouldn't have red skin a tail and a goats head. and he would have a flaming sword not a pitch fork.

The entity we know as satan is the one whom God threw out of Heaven because of satan's pride and arrogance.
When God made man and placed human beings one rung higher than the angels, satan got really, really mad and started the "war in Heaven".
God could have destroyed His most beautiful creation (satan), but elected to allow him to roam the earth causing all the problems (good vs evil) and in doing so, allowing us (humans) the path of choice to follow satan's or God's Will.
Satan has only one agenda - to kill and destroy all human beings and keep us from being with God, the Father. Satan, for one, knows what is in Heaven, and he will do everything in his power to keep you from going/being there.
Beauty of satan - see Ezekiel 28:12 (King of Tyre.....)
War - see Revelation 12:7
For a really good read on Good vs Evil, read C.S.Lewis' - " The Screwtape Letters."

Satan seems to be the people who, without good reason, make others out to be Satan.

Well if you must believe in fairy tales I would suggest that The Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil describes him rather well. Its also a v. good rock n roll song. Satan is US not some mythical creature with horns and a tail, coloured red.
