Muslims have shaytaan as the devil. Hindu's have many demons, etc. I'm not entirely sure about Buddhism, but Siddartha fought a demon and his hoardes. Zoroastrians have a devil.
Most religions have a "devil" figure, which basically just means enemy. It's the opposite to order, chaos. They just have different names for it, and many or may not personify it. It's all about balance.

Buddism isn't a true religion. Islam has the same God and Devil as Christianity. Scientologists don't really believe in a higher power of any sort, good or bad. Hindus consider their Gods to be both destructive and creative. Zoroastrians have a devil beyond what Christianity can claim.

Devil exists in the religions that originated from God i.e Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Buddhism is not originated from God and is considered idol worshipping. In Islam devil is known as Shaytan which comes from Satan. For more info click the wikipedia link below.

Apparently, all the other evil incarnations are actually the same god/diety that they're worshipping; it's just their alter ego. And the devil of scientologists is Tom Cruise for making them look like morons.

Many religions do not have a "devil." Most polytheistic religions have gods that may have character flaws, or gods of chaos, but there are no evil gods, like in the Abrahamic faiths.

A lot of religions do speak of a sort of evil beast. Fluffbunny Wicca denies the existence of Satan, as does Satanism (ironic eh?).

Man-made religions are non-existant, only in mans minds, God is the only creator and yes satan does exist, and God protects us from his wrath when we seek The Lord and accept Jesus Christ as our saviour, asking for forgiveness for all of our sins, truly meaning it deep down in our hearts, and repenting, turning are will over to the Lord, don't follow accounts that people try to make up to prove THIER point, there is only one way we got here, and only ONE GOD, OUR TRUE GOD, OUR FATHER, WHO ARE'T IN HEAVEN. BELIEVE IT KNOW IT AND ALWAYS HAVE GOD WITH YOU.
