satan is considered bad because he is leading us astray from gods path or some such nonsense like that. And god doesnt like that so anything he doesnt like is considered bad . Iits thats whole apple eater philosophy we have the intelligence to make up our minds after adam ate the apple. Thus satan presents us with pretty strong temptations to lead us off God's path, and in doing so tries to tempt us not to follow god's will. therefore satan is bad. Thats how I understand it, believe me I am far from an expert, and on a personal note I don't believe in any of it, but you posed a question so I tried to formulate a reasonable response with the best of my knowledge. Satan doesn't like us so when he leads us astray he punishes us in hell. Its not the punishment thing that makes him evil, its the process and the act of taking us away from God that makes satan "evil". When Satan takes one of our "souls" that hurts God to lose one of his children, thus another reason Satan is viewed as bad. not a well formulated response, but I was going to end this earlier then another thought hit me so just piece the two together.
