If you are really wanting an in depth knowledge on both of these subjects, read the book, "The truth about Angels" by Terry Law. It was a very interesting book that covered all the ins/outs on this subject, and backed it up with Biblical, and personal experiences.
And to answer your question, yes I do believe in both of these. Why or why not? Because of my extensive knowledge from reading the Bible and books like the one mentioned above. Most people picture Satan as an evil looking creature. That is not the way he is portrayed in the Bible. Satan was a beautiful Angel, and when he causes a person to sin, he makes the sin appear beautiful and irresistible before making a person fall. :o )

A demon is an evil influence. Who then is a demon? It could be someone you care about a great deal: a friend or a relative. Some one that inspires you to do wrong, go against the things of God. Someone that rejects God but say they love you.
There are angels. Angels are those that represent the things of God. They speak on behave of God; they act on the behave of God; they are visible and invisible; seen with the spiritual eye and revealed by the things they do.

ABSOLUTELY! The Bible tell us that they exist, and they are among us. Angels were created before the earth was. They were already with God before man was created. Angels are servants of God. Some are messengers, like the angel who told Mary she was going to have Jesus, and some are for guarding, or protecting, like the cheribum in the Garden of Eden. The angels are also created for worshipping God. They worship Him night and day. They also bring messages to Him, and report to Him daily. God's Holy Word says there are beings called angels. That's why I believe it!
As for demons, YES THERE ARE DEMONS! They are evil spirits who roam the earth. I believe they actually possess human beings, and they can even possess animals if they wish. The demons are Satan's minions. They do his dirty work for him, since Satan cannot be everywhere at once. Satan was an angel himself until he was thrown out of heaven by Michael, the archangel. So, Satan's power does not even match one of God's angels. (remember he used to be an angel himself) He wanted to be raised up higher than God. He was created to be God's servant, but he was too full of PRIDE, and rejected God.
Evil spirits came from the nephillimThese were the giants who were born of earthly women when the fallen angels came to earth, and disguised themselves as men, and married the women. These evil spirits are in the world today. Jesus cast out many demons during His time here on earth. Mary Magdaline had 7 demons living in her before they were cast out by Jesus. If Jesus believes there are demons, and He was casting them out, then I believe there are demons, also. If you believe in God, and God's Holy Word, then you must believe in angels and demons!!!! But, DO NOT WORSHIP EITHER OF THEM!!! Only worship the Lord!!!!

God made it very clear in His Word that we deal with invisible angels and demons. I believe God.

No, they are mythological creatures like flying horses, elves, gnomes and hobbits.
They are symbolic of the good and evil nature of the world. Religion is just mythology that is accepted today as true.

There most certainly are.
They are spoken of often in the bible & in ages & ages of folk lore.
Without evil there cannot be any good.This is why i cannot understand why there are athiests.
They are just Satan's little helpers & don't even know it!

[Read my whole answer before you rate.]
I do.
I am Christian and the Bible says it is true.
There is no proof that Christianity is real, but honestly, what do I have to lose?
I have faith.
I pray to one I call God and he answers.
That's enough for me.

Yes. Because the "God Breathed" word of the Bible verifies it...
