"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." I Corinthians 1:18
It is commonly believed that an upside cross is a symbol for Satanism. It is traditionally held that St. Peter was crucified on an upside down cross.* Was St. Peter crucified for Satan? No.
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree..." Galatians 3:13
The above verse reads, "Christ...being made a curse..."
Is the cross cursed? Is an upside down cross cursed? The person of Jesus Christ became a curse; the cross did not. The cross is not a curse and an upside down cross is not a curse. Either way the cross is not a curse. The cross is a dead TREE.

Again, St. Peter was crucified upside down. When I see an upside down cross, I think of him and his martyrdom for our Lord Jesus Christ.
