It's played out a bit like that in Lucifer for instance (mostly mis-understood etc), and to some degree Supernatural etc, but yeah, you really don't have any series that portrays demons as being supportive of humanity.


Lucifer isn't a demon, he's an archangel. In theory, he's supposed to be lawful good, but he's chaotic evil

Even using the whole Christianity concept, you could argue that demons and humans are in the same boat, both being considered not worthy of heaven, with humans only being allowed into heaven because of JC (not through there own actions etc). It would make sense in such a case for humanity and Hellspawn to team up and look out for each other.


Except no, you can't. Within the mainstream contexts of Christianity, humans were born with free will -- meaning they can choose to follow god or sin. Angels and demons were not born with free will, they can only follow their nature. It's certainly nowhere near the same boat.

I'd like to see a book/tv series etc, that kinda explores that concept, and a true revolution of hell and earth against heaven, where sentient beings rise up and demand rights, equality and freedom on a heavenly scale. They demand the right to choose if they exist, and where they exist, and they hopefully find a way to finally win such things by the end.

Portraying God as not being good and all powerful, and everything he does is just would be seriously controversial, but heck, they have already done that at this point a few times. Why not just go all the way?


Pretty sure that's been done already and it's just a matter of you needing to find it. Hell, even in Supernatural, god isn't all-powerful.
