Ok let me be clear; I agree that over the centuries some people have attributed images of horned goaty things to being lucifer/Satan, but the "template" for lucifer was laid out in the ancient Hebrew texts.

The god of the hunt. As old as the earth mother, maybe, but harder to pin down. Before agriculture, without a successful hunt the tribe will fail.
Was used by Christians as a template for Lucifer, in their pogrom to overthrow all pagan (non-Christian!) beliefs.
Lucifer is the star we know as Venus or the Morning Star which rises in the morning like the Sun but is nothing compared to the real Sun.
The devil's pitchfork may be based on Neptune's trident.
Muslims do the same thing to pagans.

Horns have ever been present in religious imagery as symbols of fertility and power.[42][43] It was not until Christianity attributed horns to Satan as part of his iconography that horned gods became associated with evil in Western mythology:[44]
