‘...that even though they don’t believe in God, they nevertheless blame God for all the evil in the world.’

actually, I absolutely absolve God of all complicity in evil, as I am agnostic regarding his existence...

‘Satan and his followers corrupted this world, not God.’

not so, as according to prevailing belief, God created Satan, knowing what he would do, and failure to prevent the evil thus falls to God...according to tradition, that is...

‘But if you blame him instead, who’s going to save you?’

like I said, I don’t blame him for anything; nor do I seek divine salvation, that’s what our secular systems of justice are for...

God created Satan, but with free will. If I, a person of free will, decide to shoot an innocent person in the back, the person is dead because of my free will, not God’s. So why doesn’t God just eliminate everyone who makes evil decisions? He almost did in Noah’s flood. We’ve all done wrong things that somehow affected someone else who was innocent of it. He lets us live because he has a plan of redemption for some of us. God will do something, but not according to our timeframe.

As Alexander Solzhenitsyn might say, "Good luck with that."
