This is explained at the FreeBSD website at 
http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/daemon.html
The symbolic refers to "daemon", not deamon, and it has nothing to do 
with satan, the devil, evil powers or anything even remotely religious.

 From the FreeBSD website:

"`Daemon'' is actually a much older form of ``demon''; daemons have no 
particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a 
person's character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a 
``personal daemon'' was similar to the modern concept of a ``guardian 
angel'' --- ``eudaemonia'' is the state of being helped or protected by 
a kindly spirit. "

I hope this helps, freebsd is really a great operating system and I hope 
you wont let religion or politics stop you from using it.
