about 'the devil' or 'Satan', but couldn't find any (apart from describing natural selection as "devil take the hindmost", which doesn't count). So I didn't think it fair to refer to him since I couldn't see he did use such rhetoric. And that was 100 years ago; you might say Democrats have evolved since then (as they have, in race policies, for instance).
