Romans 1

25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie
Lucifer believed the lie that the creature can take the place of the creator.

I think this thread is also important in determining how well you study your Bible. Many Bible grounded Christians come at me with this "Satan, the fallen
angel..." nonsense. Satan was chief of 5 cherubs, all higher in order than Micheal the archangel, who did not have the rank to rebuke Satan.
