Expanding on my point, there are many, many tales and interpretations of who Lilith is. One from middle ages says that Lilith was the first woman before Eve and fought for equality with Adam.

In Ben Sira’s fanciful additions to the biblical tale, the Almighty then fashions another person from the earth, a female called Lilith. Soon the human couple begins to fight, but neither one really hears the other. Lilith refuses to lie underneath Adam during sex, but he insists that the bottom is her rightful place. He apparently believes that Lilith should submissively perform wifely duties. Lilith, on the other hand, is attempting to rule over no one. She is simply asserting her personal freedom. Lilith states, “We are equal because we are both created from the earth.”

.....

Lilith’s relationship with Adam is a different matter. Their conflict is one of patriarchal authority versus matriarchal desire for emancipation, and the warring couple cannot reconcile. They represent the archetypal battle of the sexes. Neither attempts to solve their dispute or to reach some kind of compromise where they take turns being on top (literally and figuratively). Man cannot cope with woman’s desire for freedom, and woman will settle for nothing less. In the end, they both lose.

You can see the appeal of this in feminist thought.

You can use Lilith to appeal to Feminism and lesbianism Just like you can use Satan to appeal for Liberalism, freewill and sexual liberation. hell, You can use Moloch to advocate for abortion rights if you like. That does not mean these figures are not worshipped. It is a wonderfull way to hook you slowly into their beliefs. They wont be outspoken about it, specially in social media times.
