'However, the Bible does call the devil the god of this earth.'

That sounds interestingly like a Gnostic point of view...

Having other gods would be pagan, I think.
The modern movement seems to be a singularity of paganism and Gnosticism, because Gnosticism is trying to leave to flesh because the flesh is evil and the spirit is good.

This is why liberals argue that there is no excuse for not doing the so-called right, as they define it, even if it takes your life. That’s why they hold white people responsible for the actions of white from 300 years ago and why we should be punished for the past because our ancestors didn’t do the right thing, even if that right thing would have wiped out entire peoples.

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
