Everytime I read "the god of this World" I think of Gaia, Mother Earth, Shekhinah, etc. Do you think Abrahamic religions due to sexism referred to the femenine/negative/yin side of God as evil and so they gave her the name Satan?
Hinduism has Durga as the Goddess of material nature and Kali (not Goddess Kali) as the evil ruler of this age (although the label "evil" maybe depends on who's talking). Do you think that has to do with Satan?
Moreover I found out the serpent is a symbol of underworld/chthonic/earth divinity. Nothing really evil; just a part of Nature.
