You posed this as a question a while back--to which I now answer as some do
and some don't. The same answer would apply to premillenialists,
postmillenialists, sprinklers, and immersers. Pick any group of Christians
and the answer will be the same. That's the problem when we assume that a
group of people who share a common viewpoint also share identical beliefs in
other areas.
You seem less concerned about Satan's possible role in promoting certain
theistic dogma (which I infer from the tone and content of your recent
posts)? Do you think Satan may play a bigger role in materialism-naturalism
than in religionism? If so, why? if not, then why focus your concerns
there? These are not rhetorical questions, I am interested in your opinions.

How about religionism and its demand for conformity and adherance to certain
orthodoxies that God never intended for us?
Which is more frightening to you, a fossil hunter who claims his research
disproves the existence of God, or a theist who questions the quality of
faith of his brothers who adhere to a different scientific viewpoint?
