This is actually a pretty old idea that goes back at least as far as the Second Century A.D. and probably back further. Irenaeus, the Bishop of Lyons condemned back than.
Catholicism in general considers it heretical for two main reasons- the most important being the idea that a substance itself can be evil as opposed to a will. The same goes for Orthodoxy. However the idea persists.
The idea is basically that Cain was father not by Adam but by the Serpent (or Angelic Being) who was probably Satan in the Garden of Eden and not by Adam, and there is a semi-demonic Serpentine line coming from Cain who have been warring against the Light over the centuries.
Within Christianity the evidence is 1 John 3:12 "Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and killed his brother. " along with John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof."
