If you want to drive out "demons", you need to teach people that they're allowed to make up their own minds... You said it earlier... "intellectual dissonance"...

Why bother with the Bible? You honestly sound like an Atheist Christian to me. You might as well pick up a book on the folklore of all the Zelda games ever made and tailor it to reality. That's what you're doing with the Bible... you're butchering it to fit your perception of reality. Just save yourself a step and get rid of all the Biblical nonsense that you put on top of reality. You can start by simply acknowledging people are capable of holding two contradictory thoughts in their head without the need to call it a "demon".
