    All Religion has its origin in shamanism. That then led to polytheism which then led to monotheism. What all those have in common is that people made it up as they went along.

        Catholics also have patron saints for nearly everything from infants to ice skaters that they pray to but that are totally not gods because there is only one god. I mean, yeah, their second most important prayer is directed at the Virgin Mary, but that doesn’t mean they worship her or anything.

        Afaik, christians don’t see the devil as a god, but as one of god’s minions tasked with temping the flock or having them prove their faith or some shit.
