The downward pointing star was also used on both Nauvoo temples, and many Christian churches in Europe from the middle ages. And I am not aware of published claims the downward pointing star is symbolic of self or Satan warship that predate the first Nauvoo temple.
Context is everything. After all, the US military had at least one medal that featured the swastika prior to WW2. In the later half of the 20th Century the down-turned pentagram became associated with the triumph of matter over spirit. Again, that could be up for debate but then if you have the EU combining the upside-down pentagram with the construction of the Tower of Babel (which God destroyed as a symbol of contempt) then one could get a meaning that places man over God.
