The big crossover thing with Demon and Hunter is that Demons need to use humans as a conduit to affect the world, how effectively they can use their powers is determined by the human's Faith rating And Hunters have the highest Faith possible for any human being

The Imbued are this reckless last-ditch attempt by the Messengers to save humanity by bringing back humans to the level of spiritual awareness and power God meant them to have when she made Adam Pre-lapsarian humans, rulers of creation, made in the image of God

Humans as they were truly meant to be -- with the Messengers carefully obscuring this fact, nerfing their powers (the Second Sight, the Hunter Edges) so they think they're only there to fight the other monsters The second coming of the Solar Exalted

And so Lucifer is obsessed with the idea that if one of the Imbued (the "Bright Shiners") makes the fully informed and willful decision to commit to his cause, to be a vessel for Lucifer himself, he will be the most powerful human to ever live, the Antichrist

But, of course, the OG Christ was apparently put on Earth to cut off this possibility Lucifer's bitterness and rage that Christianity (along with the other major religions) was put on Earth by mysterious forces beyond his control to stymie and frustrate him Propaganda

He puts the Hunter signature character through his Last Temptation and rages out at him because they both fully know the tropes that they're playing into and Lucifer is losing his mind that the guy refuses to just change his framing

Of COURSE "all the religions are here to fuck with Lucifer, it's just Christianity is MORE true." God I hate how much default Christendom ends up pissing on Judaism

Well, except that this Hunter's Christian upbringing, if you buy Lucifer's story, is what kills the very last hope for the world's survival

It's still proclaiming Christianity more true than everything else, Arthur.

It's about philosophy and world view, not mere compliance to a doctrine.

Well yes, fair enough, it's a very Christian-centric mythos even if it spins itself as blasphemous (like "Satanism" in general is), that was kind of baked into Vampire from the beginning

That said, in retrospect so much of the 90s and 00s was practically salivating for an apocalypse.
