An exorcism is a Christian term and it originated in Christianity. I'm not even thinking about Hollywood exorcisms like spinning heads, green throw up and bodies walking on the ceiling but rather other actions. A spiritual attack should not be called an exorcist/exorcism but rather possession. In Christianity, having a demon or the devil attack and invade your body you need an exorcist. When being attacked by an angry spirit... that is possession or whatever term is used. I believe in spirits and I believe that some people might be haunted or even possessed by spirits but an exorcism is strictly within the Christian belief. That is why I brought up Satan and God because they are associated with one another and exorcisms.
