Our thoughts are extremely powerful. We can create entire worlds based upon a construct within our minds that begins as a filament and then stretches out into reality. In fact, the reality that we create is the sum total of our thoughts being mirrored back to us.
So, there isn't a grand "Demon" per se or a "Satan" at all, but only the darkness of our actions that creates the demons that we project into the world. We create "Satan", in fact. And he(she) is us, if we are dark and full of malice, greed, envy and puffed up with pride and ego.
One individual alone can create enormous havoc and evil with a single thought, one that percolates obsessively and then emanates from the impurity of an intention. Think of Hitler as an example.
Now, what if we collectively colluded, perhaps unconsciously, to create the industrial world that we currently live in with its gross inequities, its careless disregard for the vulnerable, the infirm, the Earth. Think of the power of our collective thoughts as we mindlessly continue to buy into a culture that divides us one from the other: race from race, religion from religion, rich from poor, think of the enormity of the despair that we are collectively responsible for.
Now, think of what we could do if the opposite ruled our thinking.
