“Sorting everything in [life] into ‘of the devil’ or ‘of God’ seems to me to be a very simplistic and limiting way of viewing the world.” It seems to me the polar opposite. Seeing the hearts and the minds and the souls of people as God and the devil sees them is expansive and complex. It takes a great deal of discernment, which is (ultimately) a spiritual gift.
“How many ‘devilish’ things does a person have to do to move from the God category to the devil category?” The default position is that people are naturally carnal and sensual and devilish. Naturally, people ALWAYS “think” with a carnal and sensual and devilish mind. It’s how this fallen world — whose ruler/prince/archon is the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning — programs and conditions us as soon as we are able to consciously formulate thoughts. This programming and conditioning is why people need to put off their old nature and put on the new man, who is fashioned after the image of Christ. Those who are not of Christ are of the spirit of antichrist. There’s no middle ground. No grey area. Therefore, it’s not as much a question of devilish doings versus godly behavior. It’s a question of what spirit characterizes you.
