The devil is the major personified spirit of evil in many religions. Depicted as the Ruler of hell, Satan or Lucifer stands against God. The devil is a demon, a wicked spirit in Hell trying to lure people into evil wrongdoing and thereby rob them of heaven. He is one who can cause trouble or damage.

Note 1: Not all religions believe in a devil or Satan. They have alternate explanations about why evil exists in the world.

Note 2: Many belief systems or religions use symbolism and metaphor. Satan/the devil are both symbols of evil, not a true spirit or 'angel'. Fallen angel is also symbolic speech for something opposite of "angel" and in this line of thought, angel is also just a symbol for goodness. However, whether you believe angels and demons are real, or symbolic, is a matter of personal beliefs and the faith/religion you believe.
