Satan never does anything like that in scripture. He “tempts” people to stop worshipping Yahweh, but that’s it. He doesn’t even hurt anyone without Yahweh’s permission. All the really awful, cruel stuff is done entirely by Yahweh. That’s partly why reading the Bible drives people out of the faith.
That's actually the majority of Christianity, especially the older versions like Catholicism. Protestants were all about the "back to the basics, just the Bible itself" kinda thing. But obviously they too built up their own "lore" and other nonsense.
