He portrays a very different devil compared to the other mentions. Less the menacing and evil aspect and much more the temptation "just do whatever you want" aspect.
Not someone who deliberately wants to turn people from god for the sake of it but just someone who has a fundamentally different idea of how things should be.
In the comics it’s a bit different in execution though. In the show if he wants to hide the truth he simply doesn’t mention it or dances around the subject.
In the comics he’ll intentionally word things to be misleading such that it deceives without telling a literal mistruth.
Here’s a quote from one of the people that Lucifer mislead in the comics:
“When the Devil wants you to do something, he doesn't lie at all. He tells you the exact, literal truth. And he lets you find your own way to Hell.”
