Don't forget willful possession. Some people invite demons (or spirits) into their bodies. Vodou Mambos and Bokors use this practice as the cornerstone of their religion.
I don't believe in a "Devil" that is the embodiment of all evil, but I do believe in other gods/spirits/forces, that were painted as "Demons" by the Catholic Church when they co-opted and subverted pagan religious festivals.
