So basically, all carbon-based life is satanic. Very Gnostic, which made me think of the vanishingly small handful of science fiction stories with Gnostic themes/tropes. Such as"The Final Equation" by Adrian Vonner, where the ending has God being revealed as Satan. I remember it as being as Gnostic as a bag full of Cathars.
And of course Mitch Greig's comical short story "Madame Zuleika Goes to Hell", which only appeared in a couple of small press 'zines in the 90s before sinking without trace. It features Charles Lubbock's notorious erotic character ending up in Hell, discovering that Satan is the Creator, and receiving a heartfelt apology from God.
