The darkness has done a good job of being offended at the light and shoeing people away from God's first explanation of himself and his ways and his school of thought in Gen1:1.
We Christians, the ones who lean toward the way God does things in the universe, realize that in order to keep pride out of heaven, salvation had to be a free gift. Those on satins side of pride don't want to believe that, there is too much good in themselves to waist on believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. They want to believe in themselves that they are righteous and despise others (Luke 18:9). They push the view that the world consists of sinners and non sinners, and that they are less a sinners then others. They don't want to believe in the way of the seed and imputed righteousness, they want to be a blob of mud cleaning itself, lighting up the room so the sun can come in. They want to close the doors and study the darkness, and understand its brightness. But only God can get the thanks for the work of salvation, otherwise it lets pride back into heaven, and God can't allow it.
Those on the left hand of Satan who believe Satan’s views, naturally hate those who believe God's way. They say we are evil, but Jesus says "blessed are you when people speak evil of you for my names sake" accusing us of evil, that we do what we want and are still accepted by God. That is one of the complaints from the Pharisees and snides and socialists. They think that their way of justifying themselves rather then giving yourself to God to justify is the only true way, it's also satins belief.
Satan and his apologists believe that they can do and say whatever they want, and God and those on His side must respond with peace and understanding and acceptance. Firstly Satan pushes fairness; the capitalist system that is paying for God's people Israel’s defense is not fair. There are too many greedy capitalists with to much money and power that we want. The system of free market capitalism and democracy should be replaced with the left's socialism. The money should be taken from the rich who are rewarded for there hard work and given to the poor on the left. There should be fairness and equality, "everyone suffering the same". All power should be taken from the thousands of rich capitalist centers and transferred to one person who sits at the top as a philosopher king who can't be voted out, telling every one how to live better lives. And whoever disagrees should be sent to "re-education camps" or even tortured for the good of the "community".
In the spirit of fairness, God should apologize for His aggression that antagonizes the evil in Satan. God should reduce himself in size to be more understanding and forgiving and compassionate. And so should America, say the left. And so should Israel. There is too much war in the world satan says, there should be peace ruling a "police state globe" as an iron fisted global prison camp.

The answers to the religious lies are that stage one is salvation and it must be while on earth, not in heaven. That's the way it has to be to keep the fake and pretenders out. Stage two is the long sanctification process that happens during our lifetime. But the proud think that the sanctification process is stage one and you can earn your salvation though being sanctified, by how good you can be. No wonder Jesus got so pissed off at the Pharisees so much. Especially when he went off at them for swearing by the gold of the alter and adding "blind fools, it is the alter that sanctifies the gift.” The gift doesn't sanctify the alter.
Rough as guts.
