Here is what "Satan" has done...
Amongst so many things he has allowed men to think they can burn women alive for being witches. "Satan" has allowed Hitler and his troops to wear belt bucles that read "Gott mit uns," (God is with us, or on our side) while the other side, as in all wars, believes the same, the Crusades, the Inquisition, even the current hellhole called Iraq can be connect to competing theocrats who view the infidel (remember we are "the great Satan") as an agent of Satan. There have been those on our side who use the same rhetoric when speaking of Islam.
In short the concept of Satan vs God is directly linked to the evil WE have committed. How? Because if your fighting evil and do something evil, like killing someone, it's not viewed as murder. You're no longer hurting someone else but doing God's work, battling evil. Satan is often an excuse to become more evil. Satan may not exist, but humans are pretty damn good at using the concept of Satan to excuse evil acts they wish to commit.
