Old goddess, that was beyond me. That's a thought, especially with the Christian adoption of heathen gods as demons, or –in very rare cases– angels.
The thing is that you simply can’t tell if she is good or bad, with the exception of her stopping Depp from stopping a murder (of an evil person) she didn’t do anything bad, nor seem to require anything overly bad.
Never even considered the possibility of other religions (that’s very odd for me), thank you.

I'm in total agreement: the book is outstanding. I recently reread it because I felt so let down by The Da Vinci Code--it was even better the second time.
Of course, it helps to be a rabid Dumas/Sabatini fan. The exchange of quotes from Scaramouche at the beginning just sucked me right in: I always thought the opening paragraph was one of the best beginnings in literature.

Alas, the woman (Irene Adler) is not the devil, which is described in the book in far more detail. But you're on the right track. Read the book folks! You won't be disappointed.
