Satan is the Hebrew word for "adversary" and "accuser." Judas was the apostle which accused Jesus.

But is religion not supposed to be brought to understanding and is that not what indoctination is all about?

I would say that the very religion that we are enslaved by must be the liberator that sets us free from all kinds of slavery and not just the concept sin.

Religion is about liberty and not slavery or there could be no victory for the believer.

Wrong. Religion is about control over the minds and money of the followers. I am reminded of "1984"..."Slavery is Freedom."
