You could look at how some Maori worshipped Satan. The Missionaries of course came to NZ with bibles and stories and whatnot, one story caught the attention of a group of Maori - Paradise Lost. In this Satan of course temps Eve with the fruit, representing knowledge etc. etc. The Maori saw God as trying to stop Man learning and bettering himself and saw Satan as offering knowledge and betterment. They saw themselves being greatly benefited by the new technology Pakeha, (Europeans,) were bringing from Europe and drew the completely logical conclusion that the Snake or Satan in offering knowledge, technology etc. was the one who should be worshipped. The Missionaries were of course all like,
but that didn't really matter to this particular group of Maori. It does of course make perfect sense when you think about it.
