The god of this world is Satan.

No, the God of this world is God. Satan is a false god. The verse addresses the one and only true God of this world who blinds people.

Sister,

the Devil has had a long time to get his world system completely locked in.
Before i came here, i was watching the Kabul airport terrorist attack report on the news with tears in my eyes.
Such a dark world the Devil has created. Such Chaos. Such deception.
And you are correct. He is at work everywhere, deceiving, harming, confusing, destroying..
We need not fear for when we reject the world and live with Christ within, we are on the winning side. But we must beware, fpr we are bombarded with messages from the world, and Satan copies the truth but twists it.

Satan :

"""In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.""""

So? That is speaking of what God did. The same basic concept is found here:

Joh 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Joh 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
Joh 12:40 He (God) hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

Yep, God blinded people so they could not be converted nor be healed. That's the same as God blinding people so they cannot accept the gospel and not have light of Christ shine upon them.

It is God doing the blinding in both passages.

You are teaching that God the Father, keeps people from coming to the Cross, keep people away from Jesus and Salvation.....by blinding their minds so that they cannot believe.
So, your theology is spiritual insanity. As you are teaching......."God sent Jesus to the Cross, so that He can keep humans from believing".

What cult taught you this Cross denying heresy?

It comes from the bible. Go on and reject it. It doesn't bother me but you need to stop making cult accusations.
