Look, just leave RELIGION off the wiki. There are PLENTY of fictional sourced versions of "religion" characters. You don't need Satan from the Bible where there are sooo mannny fictional versions to make pages about.

Finally, there is still a vast difference between Mythological, and Core Religion Belief System characters.

no there isn't - mythology is just core beliefs no longer considered "mainstream" - if we went to, let's say, another world or gained access to a multi-world empire like Star Trek etc in the far future we'd have billions of alternate belief systems, would we declare any non-human religion "fiction"? no.. because we'd (hopefully) be mature enough to realize ALL beliefs are valid to some extent and as long as we write neutral about the subjects no one should bother about it.

this can help us learn about neutrality, the origins of many "good and evil" themes and about trusting each other to contribute without fear of a very tiny minority saying we can't write about the monotheistic "God" or the Hindu deities because they have higher number of worshippers.. also, we are NOT even writing about the *worshipped* figures, we're writing about figures the texts themselves state are immoral and/or dangerous (demons are universally evil, unless you go down the nitpicky road of "one man's demon is another man's god" but really there's a difference between the two.. demons are symbolic of wrongs in society and in our selves, just as villains are in modern media.. the only difference is demons may or may not exist, depending on who you ask or why)

plus as I said before the concept of fiery damnation and pitchfork-carrying, soul-collecting satyr Devils come from medieval alterations of theology.. many beliefs seen as "core" are additions added fairly recently.. the original texts are not nearly as heavily apocalyptic / doomsday preaching.. doesn't mean it isn't "real".. just means we need to acknowledge that many of the "facts" are actually revisions of much older texts and changed to adapt to the society of the time.
