The demons, born of Chaos, harbor fire, and yet they are twisted and malformed, such that they were never meant to be.
Obvious jewish projection there.
Nah you're reading too much into it. They do not refer to our Demons they work just like Titans for the ignorant masses. Also what Japanese media has adapted into "Demons" for Western audiences usually means completely different things for them. The point of the game is to Rekindle the flame, choose your path to become a wielder of the flame or let everything into the dark, and keep the cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth like many messages for the Magnum Opus.
The farming Souls thing is just XP farming from the undead, it is not real parasitism one because they are undead and second you're doing them a favor by ending their misery. You defeat the Lord of death that was keeping humans stagnate, to keep the cycle of rebirth going (like the Chronos myth etc.). You do have the choice to be an asshole and steal Humanity and Souls from a living person but there are consequences to it.
What I like the most is that there is no morally evil villains or depravity it is all an inner fight against yourself and how you deal with the circumstances and hardship, just like the old myths but obviously over the top horror and whatnot which I personally don't care. Anyway I don't think there is much of any message or themes in those games like for instance kill the Gods cause they're assholes like in GoW, it is a fight within yourself to become better, different from the the retardendss of literalizing the symbolic language because GoW is kike ass, disabled from getting subtle impersonal and symbolic mechanisms that have nothing to do with fighting moral "evil".
In Sekiro which is the more personal game of the series and has some buddhist yikes there is still positive aspect of Shinto that (SPOILERS AHEAD) you don't need to sever immortality like the base game tells you to, you can actually return the White Dragon to the West and thus fix the same problem of the Souls world but in real Japan.

with ugliness and hopelessness in overabundance,
Isn't that awesome? No matter how fucked and ugly the world is you can do better, just like in the game you may commit errors, you learn the patterns from your enemies, and if you do not win in one life you fight even better in the next.
