The main part of your argument seems to be comprised of "The devil made me do it."

So Feanor threatened Fingolfin with death. Morgoth made him do it.

He rebelled against the Valar. Morgoth made him do it.

He stole the ships of the Teleri, and then fought and killed them. Morgoth made him do it.

He abandoned his brother Fingolfin to almost certain death in the Helcaraxe. Morgoth made him do it.

Sure, Morgoth had a huge influence on Feanor, but you cannot lay ALL of the responsibility for Feanor's dark deeds at the feet of the Great Enemy. In the end, Feanor chose to believe Morgoth, and he chose to commit great evil. It was his choice.
