Pic related is not something people would call real money, but what if you were in a $100,000 winner takes all tournament match? If you were given the chance to buy anywhere from 0 to 1000 monopoly dollars at a rate of 1 to 1 how many monopoly dollars would you buy? How much real money would you be willing to spend on this fake money?
The realness of anything is its ability to impact reality. Rituals where people commit to behavior (both good and evil) have a tangible effect on their psychology and behavior. For all intents and purposes those who pray to an evil being and commit to doing evil acts are more likely to behave in this fashion. By virtue of impacting reality Satan and God are both real and should be recognized as such.
