To be honest, Lucifer has been labeled immoral only because he opposed god, who was labeled moral. If you look at their actions objectively, god is actually the bad guy, in most respects. God didn't want Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil so they would remain naive and easily controlled. Once they broke his absolute hold on them (accidentally) he punished humanity greatly to reassert his autority. God punishes entire civilizaions often on the idea that non-believers are evil. The devil tempts us to enjoy our lives and not grovel at god's feet and is deemed evil for it. He wants us to think for ourselves (Lucifer=bringer of light. lucid=luminous,sane). It's just one big conspiracy...well it would be if they existed.
