Thanks for that  Wishiker :- )

1.  The fundamental debate between Lucifer and God isn't specified in the Bible anyplace, other than in Job chapters 1-2.  I could summarize if you liked.  
It's interesting that you suggest that Lucifer wanted us to be forced to do what's right.  Did that come out of a Chris Walken movie?  ;- )  ;- )

2.  Yes, you're misunderstanding Christian groups.  Thanks for asking my friend (sincerely).
EVERYBODY wants the rest of the world to be forced to do what's right.  You, for example, want the rest of America to be forced to refrain from foot-binding their infant females.
EVERYBODY thinks the rest of the world would be better off, if it believed more as they do.
In my experience, over the last 30-40 years, Christians are somewhat LESS interested to trying to legislate behavior than other interest groups.  Christians aren't particularly interested in passing laws against premarital sex.  90%, or more, of Christians, just want to be left alone to raise their kids as they think best ... and they would prefer that their kids not be taught homosexuality in kindergarten.
It really is a massively inert interest group.  According to Gallup, 78% of Americans identify as Christian, and yet how much did Christians affect the last election?  Imagine if the NAACP had 78% of the electorate.

It's true that Christians oppose the institutionalization of values opposite to theirs -- when society initiates laws and moves down the path toward the dismantling of traditional marriage, toward wider drug use, wider pornography, etc., Christians indeed worry what's going to happen to the next generation of children.
EVERYBODY opposes the institutionalization of values opposite to theirs, correct?  :- )
But as to whether somebody wants to live their own life around sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll?  Most Christians feel that it's their decision.  Trust me on this one.

As opposed to that, I heard Alan Dershowitz (ACLU) say the other day, that if he could take all the children out of Christians' houses and put them in schools where they could learn tolerance and liberalism, he would do so.  I believe that the ACLU is quite a bit more aggressive and militant than Christian groups are.
