Blame the fallen angels, nephilim, and all their followers for using snake imagery.

You mean non-pagans? They're associated with healing (and other things, granted...) by the Greeks, the Hindus are generally favourable to them, one of the Aztecs' main deities was a snake; Abo creator god etc... As opposed to the Abrahamics...

Europe only has a couple of venomous snakes, so I imagine the cultures that DO treat snakes as something to be feared and revered, not hated.

northern europe has like one singular venomous snake and thats the common adder that isnt aggressive
but then you have stuff like bears and wolves that are aggressive and DID cause problems for settlers, but bear worship is really common in early european religion
maybe it really is just early europeans not being terrified of snakes like everywhere else

Weren't our early ape ancestors frequently preyed upon by giant snakes? I thought that's where we became hardwired to be wary of snakes from.

in ancient Egypt, the cobra uraeus was a divine symbol of the royalty. The cobra was also associated with the sun god Ra and many other deities such as Wadjet, Renenutet, Nehebkau, and Meretseger.

The Sumerians worshiped a serpent god named Ningishzida. In ancient Greece, snakes are symbols of health and renewal as part of the Rod of Asclepius.

Treating snakes as symbols of evil was an invention of Judaism.

Big cats were much more likely to prey on early humans
