That’s right, the devil just guides them, but they are the ones who continue to take his counsel.

This is the personification of conscience, no different than personification of Jupiter and Mars as gods, it doesn't make it real. By claiming to be led by the devil absolves the culprit of responsibility, typical of all Abrahamic religions, no different than absolving Muslims of murder to go to paradise.
