Only it doesn't seem to have "developed" beyond the original form of "other gods = demons", seeing that a thousand years later, the very Jewish apostle Paul was saying exactly the same thing.
I think the two ideas run parallel, myself: whether you take the angle that the gods of the nations are only demons or that the gods of the nations don't exist as advertised, the point is, there's only one real God.
