Default God and Satan, which is the good one?

An unbiased review of history shows that 99% of the evil committed, the pain endured, the cruelty displayed, the genocides, and miscellaneous atrocities are all attributed to God by the very perpetrators. Satan indeed gets almost no credit for bad things happening to people. All natural catastrophes are "acts of God."

While I don't believe that God or Satan are real entities, if they were presumed real for debate sake, I would have to say that Satan is the God and JHWH is the demon.

One standard apologetic is God allows Satan to do his stuff in order to protect free will. Of course that raises the question why he does not do anything to help his followers when they are tempted.

Yes and those same 99% will proclaim the name of God while the truth is that "those who know don't say" and in that case the God worshippers are indeed satan worshippers. My I remind you here that Jesus ordered his disciples to tell noone that he was the Christ (a Christian).
