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 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.

Well I mean that's what the thing I just quoted was about Lucifer's final despair when he realizes that even the very best of the best among humans, the would-be god-king he's been quietly training up, WANTS the world to just be over

He thinks that the world finally blowing up with him having, at the end, "kept his hands clean" makes him a GOOD PERSON and one who deserves to go to Heaven

(A Heaven that, last time Lucifer saw, was completely empty, and that he is now permanently barred from ever visiting again and has no direct evidence even still exists But, after all, the Bright Shiners are precious to him precisely because of their Faith)
