This was not new to Christianity. It was certainly not new to Judaism. And it's there with every single religion. And, you know, you can just pick the most basic ones of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. And they have rituals for expelling demons. And they believe in a cosmology of demons. Right. Okay.

What amazed the people in Bible times... is how Jesus cast out demons, because they had all these complex rituals that they went through. So it was about what you did to get the demon out.
