Jesus said to love others, treat them as you want them to treat you and turn the other cheek. That leads to people working to improve society even when they feel slighted and mistreated.

These satanic teachings say things like "treat others how they treat you" which means that any time you feel wronged, even if that feeling is wrong, you will retaliate. That retaliation in turn gives the next person reason to retaliate against you, and retaliations are always worse than the initial slight. That leads to a spiral of hate and evil.

From what I learnt, the person who wrote all of this mainly took "inspiration" from other great works, possibly including the bible itself.

I'm not sure where that claim comes from, but I guess everything is dirivative if you are pedantic enough. To me it seems that, especially in it's effect, the teachings of satanism are quite the opposite of christianity. They are about selfishness, vanity, vengence, and narcissism. I think it might be intentional too.

I don't see any evidence here that would justify calling any of this inspired by christianity. At best it is a direct attack on christianity by focusing on creating arguments that contradict christian teachings.

Given that most Christian teachings are the exact opposite of Jesus and the original Christians, it comes closer than you think. Maybe not inspired by him, but ends up similar by opposing the same bad and corrupt aspects of Christianity Jesus criticized the Pharisees for.
