The answers are all around us. Look at the likes of Pat Robertson, Glenn Beck, Bryan Fisher, etc., etc., ad nauseum. They still believe (or claim to believe, to keep the cash flow going) that the vast majority of the worlds problems are caused by demons, or devils, or some other mythological bad guys, rather than admitting that most of the problems are caused by those who want to blame demons rather than accept responsibility for their own actions.

Flip Wilson's cry of "The Devil made me do it!" was supposed to be sarcasm. It's become the rallying cry of religious conservatives.
