Lucifer
Lucifer is believed to be a fallen angel and the Devil in Christian theology. Lucifer is associated with the sin of pride and believed to have attempted a usurpation of God, whereafter being banished to hell. The concept of a fallen angel attempting to overthrow the highest deity parallels Attar's attempt to overthrow Ba'al in Canaanite mythology, and thrown into the underworld as a result of his failure. The story is alluded to in the Book of Isaiah and transferred to Christian beliefs and is also used in the Vulgate (the late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible). As the antagonist of God in Christian beliefs, some sects of Satanism began to venerate Lucifer as a bringer of freedom and other religious communities, such as the Gnostics and Freemasons, have been accused of worshipping Lucifer as their deity. Lucifer is still a frequently reoccurring figure in popular media.
