Nasty! This is more like voluntary possession. Binding is not normally
done within one's self.
This might require constant reconquest of the demon, in my book. A
moment of weakness and POW! the demon takes over.

Maybe even worse than godless. Godless = atheist. Demonic = demonic.

They hate 'em. They are among the list of foes.

Demons are, as explained in AR (I believe) either from the Underworld or
chaotic.
Although the term can also be used for something highly hostile. To uz,
a sky being is demonic.

The chaos. If one is incapable of quickly discerning whether something is chaotic or not, then, well, it's a demon. And all demons are nasty.
