According to the dictionary deamon and demon are the same word with the former an archaic spelling. How do you say the latter?

> deamon

Is that a typo? If not then I see how those would be pronounced the same, but daemon in American English would usually be pronounced "Day-mon". This also helps to distinguish between the long running process and an evil entity, which is good when talking to less technically minded folks.

That should be what they call a deacon in the Church of Satan.
Yes, a typo.
