Yes, there is such a thing as elaborated, Satanic propaganda. In fact. the Bible warns us about being on guard against it. Notice that in the scriptures the words that describe his activities are deception, snares, lies, schemes, disguises, misleading, falseness. murder, blinder.
Genesis 3:4-5
The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
John 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father He was amurderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
This should not surprise us since the very names Satan and Devil mean opposer and defamer. A defamer is one who makes up lies about another person describing that person in negative ways.
Devil. The term diabolos in Koine Greek translates to "devil", and means "slanderer, defamer, false accuser".
Satan. Satan (satanos, Koine Greek) means "adversary". Satan is adverse to each and everything that God does, and each and everything that God's people do.
(the one who) Deceives the whole world. Satan's world system, as he is "the god of this world".

The Cunning Elaboration Of Satan's Original Lie
But the original lie soon became ineffective and needed to be refined. You see, he original deception involved describing God as a liar because Adam and Eve, and the rest of mankind, would not die but become like God if they disobeyed him. But of course, as the centuries passed mankind began to see that they were indeed dying. Because of that, the malicious imp had to come up with some other explanation. What did he do? He told mankind that they don't really die because they posses an invisible part called a soul, and that the soul is immortal. In short, again they are not really dying after all. Heh! Heh! Tey just LOOK like they are dying.
But he wasn't finished yet. He also added a very nasty twist to the lie by saying that God lied about HOW he punishes sin. The Bible tells us that it is via death. Going back to the dust from which we were taken.
Satan now said God was lying about this as well. Instead, he invented the lie eternal torture in a special place called hell which God meticulously created just for the purpose of cooking immortal people alive forever.
In short, he decided to describe God as a sadistic monster. By describing God as a sadistic being who takes infinite pleasure in subjecting his creatures to torture for eternity-he manages to lead many away from Christ. After all, many people who are aware of human rights and ethics, don't want to be worshiper of an entity who tells us :""You will not die-you will be cooked alive forever." ?
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
James 1:15
Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
Genesis 2:17
but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
Genesis 3:19 NIV
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."
