Neither.

I do not do good or evil. Energy is neutral, it is what people do with it.

Same with biblical refs and interpretations. In order to believe in devil/satan imagery, etc. I would have to belief in the alternate.

Any perceptions I had of snakes, was out of ignorance and a lack of exposure, not to do with my Uber-right wing christian upbringing.

Despite being fed bible stories daily as a kid, we were always taught that it was all symbolic. So a snake as evil, was not a snake as evil. It was always an allegory.
