Demons verses saints: detail of a painting by Andrea di Bonaiuto, Cappellone degli Spagnoli. Since the dawn of human civilisation, mankind has attempted to rationalise its primeval fear of the unknown by creating order out of chaos and by categorising its understanding of the concept of death. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the continuum of civilisation collectively described as western. With its earliest roots in the ancient civilisations of Egypt, Arabia, Mesopotamia and Assyria, the idea of good versus evil was progressively quantified and refined by assigning names to positive characteristics such as happiness, inspiration and good fortune, and to negative characteristics such as sloth and greed, but also to ailments of the body and the mind such as depression, epilepsy, blindness and headache. During the time of the ancient Greeks a word was found to describe this entire class of characteristics defined as spirits: daimon , later to become daemon or demon.

BEING thrown across rooms, going head to head with demons and nursing broken ribs is all in a day's work for Reverend Bob Larson, America's busiest exorcist.

In cases of a husband and wife, or parent and child, the demon will try and jump back and forth between them. I had a knife put to my throat once. I had somebody take me by surprise and try and choke me.
Many religions speak of demonic forces within the cosmos representing the antithesis of truth and goodness—forces which are ultimately vanquished in the triumph of good over evil, or truth over untruth. Most religions and cultures of the world accept the existence of demons, while modern secularists regard belief in demons as superstition. Demons are frequently depicted as spirits that may be conjured and insecurely controlled through the practice of exorcisms. Their alleged power to possess living creatures and dangerously influence human behavior is regarded by many Christians as a cause of mental illness, although such beliefs are rejected by mainstream psychology. In common language, to "demonize" a person means to characterize or portray them as evil, or as a source of evil.
