There is only the Absolute we all know of. Therefore the devil you are talking about is subjective. And I am very sorry to say that I am still unable to see the relation between bad people and the devil. If you are implying the company that hinders your self-realisation to be evil than maybe you are right. But what has the devil got to do with this.
