Some fear demons, even their names. But we view the use of the term 'demons' in the Bible and elsewhere as an allegory representing hurtful, negative thoughts or the 'mis-thinking' of a person's mind.
Incorrect beliefs can be held by anyone, no matter which side of the grave (e.g. ill-behaving ghosts). The mental condition is the person and where they are living - for some, their condition may be truly termed as, 'hell.' When we produce negative thoughts we battle our self-created demons; and the mind that produces negativity must be the 'devil.'
