Default Insurance question.

I'm not sure if this term is used in other countries but here in the UK it is.
When there is an accident involving the weather like a flash flood or a tree being struck by lightening and falling on a car or house etc it is referred to as an act of God.
I'm wondering why it isn't referred to as an act of the Devil?

I think the Devil is mentioned in the fine print of a policy's Santa Clause.

Perhaps God has more money than the devil! ?

besides.. what if there were a trial case over such an incident... no lawyer would want to indict the devil.. professional courtesy and all...
