The Israelite, Muslim and christian belief in a Devil originated with Zoroastrianism.
Before the exile god got the blame for good stuff and bad stuff. In Babylon the Jews encountered dualism and came home with a new theology.

I thought it was interesting that even the original article acknowledged that fundamentalist religions did not produce any positive result regarding reduced depressive symptoms in adolescents.
I think a weakness of the article was that there didn't really seem to be a good working definition of religiosity.

Doesn't make Santa real.
Correlation does not imply causation and is a well known logical fallacy.
