I can see how one would reach this conclusion.

From what i remember, the fallen angel took the form of a snake and successfully tempted the human pair to bite from a fruit from the Tree of Wisdom. Because of this, they were sent to Earth and kind of left for dead. Don't know when it was said, but apparently, to get back into heaven, their offsprings needed to reach a likening to God, as it was before the betrayal. Details on how to do this were not given. Generations later, humans decided one of two ways could allow this:

1 - become brain-dead.

2 - continue garnering knowledge hoping that one day them or their descendants will find a way back through learning.

The two have mixed & matched since then and gave birth to new beliefs, but have generally stayed the same.

Which one makes you Satan's slave and which one brings you closer to God, no one really knows, but the war between them sure as hell ain't helping with the latter.
