Well, Satan=Bad, no doubt about it. That's not the same as being a co-creator, though.Satan does his job(s). Chr*stians think he's a "fallen" angel who "rebelled" against G-d and mucked everything up. They even call him "the 'gxd' of this world." He is not a fallen angel, he is not in rebellion, and he never was "gxd" of anything. G-d is in control of everything, including evil.
The dualistic chr*stian view of a "good gxd" and "evil gxd" at war with one another is a violation of actual Monotheism.

G-d is in control of everything
Yes, God is in control of everything.

Were the original Jews even monotheistic? Biblical Judaism was heno-theistic (there are many Gods...you only worship this one).

I'm not sure how you came to this understanding, but it is not correct. We Catholics have never considered Satan to be "a" god or God.
