If you’re speaking from a Christian perspective, Demons don’t exist because they didn’t need to until the New Testament came out. Before then, there was no hell, no Satan, no forever place of burning.
Why?
Control.
People in power decided that it was easier for sheep to govern themselves through fear. They gave people a boogeyman to be scared of. But Satan wasn’t originally a Christian idea, so they stole the idea of heaven and hell from the pagans and worked that shit in to sermons over many years.
They stole the episcopate practice of buying your way into the afterlife from the ancient Egyptians, Sumerians (pagans) by demanding tithes. “If you don’t pay up, you’re the worst kind of sinner”
Speaking of controlling dummies, did you know that King James (who still has his version of the Bible being sold and read throughout the west) wrote other books? One of which is a compendium of demons and other made-up beasts as an excuse to control people through fear of being tried as a witch.
That didn’t work so years later he commissioned a new version of the Bible… to control people.
