I think you are right about seperation and division. Some people want to be top dog or they think they have special insight. Satan is not needed.

Lucifer I think means bearer of light. I think he is also called an angel of light by the apostle Paul. The devil does not come with with pitch fork & horns on his head as some think. He comes to enchant also to try to usurp or replace God's plan with something counterfeit. Looks real but something is not right. Satan means Adversary I believe from the Hebrew. Someone might correct me.
