As above, so below is satanic.

It's hermetic, not satanic.

It means that people are the same as God.

That's one interpretation. It also means we're a part of God. The bible also says god is in all of us and god is everywhere.

To not worship the one who gave us life.

It doesn't imply that at all. Also, what good is worship? Did a god who created all of the universe need the worshipping of us lowly humans?

No, it's the basis of satanism. The idea that people are gods and on the same level as God.

These are 3 different things you are talking about here. I am only talking about the satanic aspect.

It's good for the soul to be humble. Praise the Lord.

Yes, but it existed before satanism. A belief in god are the basis for Islam and Christianity, but you can hardly argue they're the same.

There is no satanic connection, except the one you are asserting.

Amen. However, humility is not exclusive to this line of thinking. If we are god (or just a part of God). We are also the plants, the rocks, bacteria, and everything else we consider 'below' us. I find that truth quite humbling.
