Well, I wouldn't be so quick to insult you for being foolish, but I do feel that any fears over the Devil Fruit of One Piece are misplaced. The manga overall has almost no occult connection, even in supernatural energy.
Also, the Devil Fruit plays basically no role in the manga (other than Luffy's ever present abilities). Had the name been changed to "Super Fruit" nothing would change, nor would it make any difference. In my mind, this makes it not occult in the slightest.
