Hi I recently watched the movie "Paranoromal Activity." Posessions are often a religious event aren't they? I am not religious nor do I believe in an energy that makes everything, etc. I say religious event because the entity that is doing the posessing and the haunting is called a "demon" and a demon is associated with hell. And the ceremony to counter it is an excorcism, a reading of the bible scriptures and other christian practices.

My questions are, why does reading the scriptures of the bible hurt the demon? And why does an excorcism work? Are excorcisms limited to a christian practice? Why does a demon want to posess?
