Penny, almost all Christians except the good old C of E (who only believe in respectability) and the Quakers, and some of the simpler Catholics, are dualists. There is God; and there is the Devil: and they are of equal power. All these Baptists and Muslims see their god as a puny little thing that needs their intervention in politics to make its way in the world. And the somple Cat'lics take the Bible to its own conclusion, and see the Divil as only another of God's poor creatures.
