Honestly, Sam's starting to get an inkling that this isn't just professional curiosity. There's definitely something there, even if he's not entirely certain what Crowley's "profession" is, per se. Though the focus on demons may well be a clue.
"Corporations wouldn't work in place of possession. They'd still need to take human bodies to get anything done. Demons on their own are..." He pauses, head tilted in thought. "Well, some of them are different. But most are like smoke. It might be different colored smoke, but they don't have a form of their own."
He glances to Crowley, letting out a breath after a moment. Because he has the information. It's just not pretty how he got it. "Back home, when God created humans, He told the angels to bow to them and love them more than Him." He waves his hand slightly. "I'm assuming God, like the angels, doesn't really have a gender, but all of the angels we've met call God Father, so I'm sticking with Him for now." Especially when talking about groups like humans at the same time. "Lucifer didn't like that. He thought humans were unworthy in general and wanted God to see it the same way. So he appeared to Lilith and...tempted her. Changed her. Twisted her into a tool of his own. She became the first demon, endowed with some of Lucifer's own power, I think.
Sam folds his hands, rubbing his right thumb against the palm of his left hand. "For that, God cast Lucifer down, ordering Michael to place him in a cage strong enough to hold even an archangel's power. Hell grew around that. And Lilith used her power to create other demons to serve him."
