The logo is not a "demon" in the evil satanic sense, it is a "daemon" - yes, it's red and has little horns, but it is not related in any way to any anti-religious meanings. Rest assured that MANY MANY christians (and other religious groups) use FreeBSD knowing there is no "demon" installed, only daemons (the programs that idle on your machine to keep things running, like linux, solaris, etc have also). Does that help?
