Basic Trope: God and Satan (or their equivalents, depending on the setting) are friendly to each other.
- Straight: God and Satan are shown to be good friends in the work.
- Exaggerated: God and Satan are even in a romantic relationship.
- Downplayed:
- God and Satan are shown to act friendly towards each other sometimes.
- An angel and a demon are friends.
- Justified:
- The work is supposed to take place before God and Satan became enemies - in the Bible (specifically the Old Testament, Satan was a loyal servant to God.
- The work takes place in a setting where Satan Is Good, either due to having a Heel–Face Turn or never really being evil in the first place. They act more like lawyers when it comes to the judging of souls — their jobs require them to be adversarial to each other as prosecutor and defense, but nothing prevents them from working together to come to a just conclusion or being friendly outside of the heavenly courtroom.
- Rousseau Was Right; the work's bible depicts both Heaven and Hell as generally good places to live in.
- Inverted: God and Satan are enemies.
- Subverted: It's revealed that they were only pretending to be friends.
- Double Subverted: Later on, they become friends for real.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: Sometimes God and Satan are friends, but sometimes they aren't.
- Averted:
- Nothing is mentioned about how God and Satan interact.
- God and Satan are never stated to exist in the work.
- Enforced: Can be an Establishing Character Moment for Satan, showing that he's actually rather friendly in this setting if he gets along well with God.
- Lampshaded: "Hey look, God and Satan are friends!"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: "Aren't you two supposed to be enemies?"
- Conversed: ???
- Implied:
- No further detail is given, but God and Satan are briefly shown interacting positively.
- God mentions getting along with Satan, or vice versa.
