BETTER ANSWER

the most common name for the 5 pointed star is pentagram or a pentacle .
some say a pentacle is a pentagram with a circle around it ,
some call both a pentagram with or without a circle .
it is used in many cultures around the world and throughout history.
christians used it , pagans use it , wiccans use it . etc etc ...
and satanist use an inverted one .

and the star of david is not a pentagram .. it has 6 points .

Five pointed stars have a variety of names which usually differ depending on what religion is referencing them. In Christianity, they are called epiphany stars. In Judaism, five pointed stars are called the Star of David. Cults, such as the Church of Satan, often refer to a five pointed star as a pentagram.

- wow .. you really have to "research" a bit more here .. considering the fact that the star of david has 6 points .
  and not to mention you forgot pentacle and pentagram used most widely in the peacefull non satanish religion of Wicca .
  and your satan star is an INVERTED pentagram .
  
  unless of course this was just a christian bias plug and misinformation attempt with the adgenda to discredit other beliefs .
  
  either way it is sad . and a black eye for this site .
