Perhaps if people dropped the human gentile notion of capital S satan and instead thought of it as an adversarial spirit/character within both elohim and humans as the Hebrew people did, the notion of an evil being will be left behind.
Yes, God created a Tempter, but it has no power to MAKE us do anything. It is the power of suggestion. Just as we had the free will to put our will first before God and each other, we also have the free will to reverse that behaviour and put God’s Will first and trust in Him rather than our own self-perceived abilities. Our allegiance should be to that reversed thinking rather than to ourselves. Servants to God and to mankind, rather than to selfishness. (Take note humans who inundate the world with the false doctrine of self through their politicians, media, economic systems, society and daily life. It is all a lie based on the greed of mankind.)
