Comment on Lord Lucifer, hear my prayers

Yeah, but Satan (as an entity, not just a concept) is both.
And we aren’t even sure when did Canaanite/Abrahamic religions become monotheistic, and I would classify at least that as a religion change (not the rituals/practical usage, but the core philosophy).
