What does the Bible say about Satan's influence in religion?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that Satan's influence often manifests through false teachings and the promotion of self-righteousness within religion.

Satan is described in the scripture as a deceiver who operates not just in blatant evil but also within the realms of religious observance. In 1 Timothy 4:1-2, Paul warns that some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. This includes false teachings that promote self-righteousness instead of reliance on Christ for salvation. The sermon emphasizes that Satan's most effective strategy is through religion, leading many to believe they can achieve righteousness by their actions rather than recognizing their need for Christ's redemptive grace. The consequent challenge is for believers to discern truth from the lies that often masquerade as religion.
