One of the Richard Dawkins Foundation guys had the following to say in a conversation about the role of the devil last week: Interpretations of the biblical character Satan can motivate some people to live decent, rational lives. For instance: be curious and seek knowledge; question the sacred; reject authorities that expect blind obedience; encourage free inquiry; welcome diversity of opinion; judge individuals by their actions, not by whether they conform to arbitrary norms; respect the freedom of others, including the freedom to offend; and acknowledge the worth and dignity of the out group. This reads like a laundry list of all the things I used to get punished for as a kid in parochial school. At the time, I never understood why.
