One thing i've always distrusted are religions that actively go around trying to convert/recruit people.
The nock on doors wont just go away types that want to give you pamphlets.
Are you in any way associated with this type of activity? Is it something your religion does?
And again, do YOU personally care what others choose to believe, and seek to turn people onto your way of thinking?
Arguably those who try to convert actively believe they are doing others a favor, since they are essentially saving them -and thus saving themselves?-. At least in my experience of such context.
In general, if your religion makes you happy and you want others to be happy, there is nothing confusing about wanting to share that with them.

Satan is a mythological being. But more importantly, Satan is a scapegoat. Humans don't like to take blame for things that are rightfully their fault. So, we blame it on Satan. The truth is we are to blame for all of the evil in the world, and we don't need anyone to tempt us. We really can't fix our own problems until we stop believing in Satan, and own up.
More like its not such a huge deal to me that i want to pursue the matter.
This actually pertains to the OP.
While i'm curious as to what you guys think, well, i dont care that you believe it.

Re: Do you care if others believe what you do?
Yes, to a degree. However, no one has to believe exactly like I do.
There are people who do that in my religion, but I do not. It is one small place where I believe differently than others in my religion. Fortunately, differences of opinion are allowed in my religion.
i care what others believe but only to an extent. basically if you believe weird shit that i think is just counter productive then it does irritate me a little. like creationism and aliens building the pyramids and dumb shit like that. but it won't make me dislike you at the end of the day we can agree to disagree and move on.
but if you believe stuff that seems vicious and really dangerous like some of the more extreme religious sects, not gonna name names but we probably all know, then yea i care cause that type of belief is really scary and needs to be stamped out.
but as far as do i care about everyone else being non-religious/atheist/agnostic/hell-bound just like me? no not really. i mean i guess it would be kind of easier for me in some regards but it's not really that big of a deal to me. and to be honest i find some religious rituals and antics entertaining even if i do think it's based on fake shit.
