In the Jewish tradition, Satan is an angel who faithfully serves God as a prosecuting attorney - one who accuses men of wickedness and impiety. At the direction of God, Satan may be permitted to test these accusations, such as in Job. In this view, Satan's goal is not to lead men away from their faithfulness to God, but merely to reveal the true depths of their devotion, although in [[I Chronicles]] 21:1 Satan provoked [[David]] to take a [[census]] of the people of Israel against the will of God and 70,000 men are slain because of it.

Satan is said to be the "King of lies", much further than simply being evil it is thought that he can control others at least in small ways to do his bidding, Satan is capable of fouling any soul long enough to force lies to form in their heads. This may account for very good people believing very bad things, if in fact correct. There could be no other explanation as to how our founding fathers could conceive such a perfect country, yet add that there be a separation of "church and state". That could be seen as a very real plan by Satan to slowly destroy a country through Godless progressive legislation.
