Exactly!
I don't think it's a misnomer, Satan is the archetypal symbol of nonconformity and fighting the status quo. However, guess what's one of the reasons they're "kept out of mainstream appeal"? The way many (not all) science-only atheists try to lump everything remotely "religious" into the same basket, as if it were all the same thing with the same views and practices. That was one of my main points in my initial comment.
Of course, the Christian/Abrahamic model of thought that still plays a role on laws and constitutions in every country is somewhat more vocal on maintaining the prejudice and social bias against terms like "Lucifer" and "Satan", when we, as modern humans, should have already abandoned this archaic mentality of prejudice and embraced non-conformist archetypes like Satan. I'm not talking about lighting red/black candles for Satan as a deity/spiritual entity, but understanding the archetypal story of resistance. Just like Lilith is also an archetypal symbol of women's empowerment and fight for women's rights.
Unfortunately, I was strongly misunderstood on my initial comment by many people here (implied by the downvoting amount). Sure, I was also advocating for "supernatural-based religions", such as Luciferianism, Wicca and Thelema, because it seems so unfair to me to compare them with Christianity, especially considering the negative things permeating the history of Abrahamic religions (Crusades, Inquisition, etc). No Luciferians, no Wiccans, no Thelemites, among others, no one of them persecuted people: they were the persecuted people (and they still are persecuted and harassed nowadays...).
