A:

Most Jews do not believe in the devil - for them, Satan, as portrayed in the Book of Job, is the loyal assistant of God, tasked only with testing the righteousness of the faithful. Nothing untoward has happened because of this lack of belief on their part. Other people around the world who are not Christians or Muslims have never believed in the devil. The devil does not influence them, because they do not even believe he exists.

Belief in the devil has not increased the amount of evil in the world, and if people stopped believing in him nothing would change. Of course, belief or non-belief has nothing to do with whether he exists, but many say this is unlikely.

What happened if the people did not believe in the devil?

In medieval times, the Church demanded absolute obedience and belief in its teachings. Not believing in the devil would almost have been akin to not believing in God, and would not have been tolerated. However, the common people alleviated their fear of the devil by making him a figure of fun.The devil is a remnant of a superstitious past and does not really even exist. Thus, today it is quite common for people not to believe in the devil, even if they still hold religious beliefs.
