I know nothing about anime, but I guess it is not that bad? Luce is straight up "light" in Italian, and Lucifer just means "the one who brings light" because it's the Angel's name, before the fall according to the fairytale. So from their POV it should all make sense.
I dunno, he's a serial killer trying to remake the world by looking everyone he doesn't like and it's pretty mainstream.
Even without that, drawing attention to Light seems weird. Could've been "Peace", "Faith", or "Love" or whatever.
This is just 12 years of Catholic school talking, but it's a strange name to pick that ties to a lot of less than desirable stuff.
But Light is like a generic incarnation of god but also knowledge, revelation etc., it's way more absolute than peace or even love. I think Light does make sense from their perspective, and in the catholic symbolism it is identified basically with all positive stuff.
You had a bunch of other references that make sense eh, I am not familiar with them, so I respect that people might have different perceptions.
Don't apologize for their systemic pedophilia, et al.
Uh?
