Again, in order to actively deceive people, Satan must have some ability to communicate the deception. You say he may use false preachers and teachers. How? By giving them words to say?
And again, "he" could accomplish this goal without even existing! How? People get ideas. They believe them. They tell others about them. Some ideas are good and true, some are not. The bad/false teachings are propogated, and others looking on may say "that's a lie from the devil!" Simple.
Acts 5:But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Timmy, dear one, you are deceived.

Does he look like an angel of light? That's the famous Timmy (Timmay!) of South Park. Thought of by other characters on the show as "retarded" and "crippled", but, IMO, he's one smart and capable dude!
