According to the dictionary, a god is: "A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality."
Satan fits that description.
Seems to me you're tying yourself in knots trying to turn a polytheistic religion into a monotheistic religion. The contortions you're going through are both amusing and boring at the same time.
It's really very simple: Either XPNity is a polytheistic religion with God, Jesus, the Holy Ghost, and a whole bunch of angels on one side, and Satan and his cohorts on the other, or XPNity is a monotheistic religion where all these enbreasties are different facets of the one God.
Alternately, XPNity could be a Zoroanthroic kind of faith where Jesus etc are facets of the "good" side (Ahura Mazdah), while Satan etc are facets of the "bad" side (Ahriman). Or something.
