If you're asking why Satanists adopted the INVERTED pentagram, it's because it is an ancient magickal symbol and because it looks like a goat's head, if you're asking why Christians feel that ALL Pentagrams are symbols of Satanism, it's because most of them are willfully ignorant and lump Witchcraft and Satanism in the same category.

Christians associated the Pentagram with Satanists first because it was a Pagan Symbol. Its actually a symbol of protection, prosperity , the Goddess and the elements. Wear it if you want.

When the pentacle is upright it represents a spiritual nature. When it is inverted or upside down it is representing a material nature. The 5 points represent Earth, Water, Air and Fire and the upper point is Spirit, and all are connected as represented by the circle. Satanist are a materialist not a spiritual minded group.

The 5 points each mean something, one being spirit. (Some) Pagans wear it right-side-up putting spirit on top. Dark Pagans, Left Hand Path-ers, and Satanists put it upside down to put the spirit on bottom. And put a circle around it and you've got a pentacle.

It is an easy target, and often used in graffiti which pis ses people off more than the religion.
