Devils do not exist. Nor gods. All are imaginary. *PEOPLE* do good and bad things - it has nothing to do with sky-daddies.

What does demonology have to do with the study of algae? Or did you mean psychological?
The Devil is a personification. He began as the natural challenge or test to every new idea or initiative. His job was to ask, "Why is this good?", "Why is this bad?" In time, he was seen as an obstacle to holiness, a bad guy, not a tester but a tempter, always to evil. This is convenient for believers because it removes all responsibility for doubt or error. "The devil made me do it," they say. In truth, they failed the "test" and they blame someone else, someone imaginary.

I would say that the answer is probably:
Yes.
