Is Juliette a 'Satanic' character? (spoilers I guess)

I'm trying to figure out the director's message. We have the title which implies a divine (or anti-divine) context. Next we open with a symbolic reference to the biblical apple. This is repeated a few times in the film. Ultimately we have Carradine's line that Juliette "was created to destroy all men".

But... at the same time, we see in each case it is the man's hypocritical & selfish nature that leads to his downfall. Michel, who accepts Juliette as she is, does not suffer in the end.

So is Vadim presenting her as a Satanic character created to destroy men, or is he saying that there is no such thing as Satan, and each man is responsible for his own hell? If so, can we assume that Vadim is poking fun at the whole biblical notion that women are the cause of man's fall from grace?
