Non-Christian here. What I am I choose not to define.
I was in Christian religious education classes for my first 3 school years, then got switched to Catholic classes. Apparently someone made a clerical error when I enrolled originally, oops
I didn't take it seriously after that, found science and thought for myself.

That is so true indeed! It is the devil who has kept many Christians in ignorance because he does not want us to know the secret knowledge of the universe. Ignorance is what keeps him in power over us. For if we knew what he knows, he would be facing a force that is much harder to triffle with.

Please don't take the following as attacks but sincere questions, not sure how to create tone in posting yet:
Just what is the devil to you? A being of absolute evil who wants power over humanity now and in the after-life? If anything, in the context you use here I see that devil as inertia. What does the devil know?
It's very easy to blame something else for our shortcomings. People keep each other ignorant all the time, is the devil the source of their manipulation and self-interest? Not IMO, humans can mess things up very well themselves.
Have you considered that god does not want humans to know the secret knowledge of the universe yet? It takes people time to integrate new levels of conciousness and understanding into there being, too much too soon can cause damage.
