Since you are familiar with anime like I am, perhaps you have heard of Hataraku Maou-sama (The Devil is a Part-timer)? In it, the devil is chased from his castle in a parallel world named Ente Isla, and escapes through a portal into modern-day Tokyo. With no resources and no way to regain his powers, the devil decides to work part-time at the local McDonalds. Also, the devil is actually a really nice guy and is just misunderstood by others, who knew? A high school girl who is his co-worker has a crush on him as well despite knowing he is the devil, much to the chagrin of the hero who is tasked with killing him.
The light novels touch upon names and concepts that appear in biblical and other lore, such as Alciel, Lucifer, the tree of life Yggdrasil, and various means of regaining magical force. Overall though, the series seems to only lightly touch upon any religious imagery, instead relying on a character driven story with comedic elements. More about the series can be learned from Wikipedia, Yen Press, and its anime page on MyAnimeList.
