Countless people reject Christ and choose sin, the flesh, the devil, and die in their sin.. So in that sense, yes, most do not even acknowledge the true God, let alone put faith in Christ. Most choose to worship self (humanism) or other false gods including satan (satanism). Romans is very clear that each human is without excuse before God.
So God lets Lucifer influence peoples choices.
In a sense, yes, lucifer tempted Eve to disobey God, which she did and Adam followed her lead. Since sin has entered the picture, since the fall of man, each of us is drawn away by our own lists and enticed. Satan doesn't tempt every person to every sin, we are corrupt, dead in our sin without Christ. We love our sins, honestly. Satan isn't omnipresent. I think He tempts some at sometimes, and many evil men do worship satan, but we don't need him or his minions to entice us to sin
In a sense? You seem to be saying God is allowing it or God cannot stop it
Scripture is clear that God has and is and will allow Lucifer and the fallen angels/demons a set amount of time to deceive, lead astray, "rule the world", just as each fallen human, dead in sin, is given a set amount of time, determined before creation, to live, all while filling up the cup of God's wrath against themselves for their own rebellion. The thing that's hard to understand is that all people are born inherently sinful. We sin because it is our nature and we like it, not because satan twists our arms to sin. We are totally depraved without Christ, and most live their entire lives utterly content to have nothing to do with God. They will reap what they have sown, their own destruction, separation from God for eternity, which is what they wanted. They never desired fellowship with God.
