Because I did the research beforehand. The Preacher series is originally based on an alternate interpretation of the Bible, and just like in the Book demons are simply angels who turned their back on God.

Except in this case they didn't do it in spite of their angelic nature, but because of it. They rebeled against the creation of a free-willed species (humanity), because they felt that without the presence of God they would turn on each other in a never ending cycle of violence and suffering.

And they were right. Yet weirdly enough, despite being more angelic that the loyalists (the very reason of their fall), they still somehow managed to degenerate into the most evil beings of the setting anyway (??).

Doesn't make much sense, but then again quite a few thing in Preacher don't, and I guess they had to stick by the Book to preserve the spirit of the series.
