Is there a specific religious term for the belief "God exists and he is evil"?

I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

There is no god, but if there was one, the only logical conclusion is that he’s evil. So whatever you call it, your religion is the most sane one I’ve ever heard about

Fellow Sapiens enjoyer

I think it’s a common argument that’s been made by Hitchens and Steven Fry too, but you’re right 😁

the only logical conclusion is that he’s evil

If you're talking about the Abrahamic one, yes. Others could be good or neutral depending on their claimed characteristics.

Looking at the pain and suffering in the world, any god that is not only capable of stopping that, but is by definition the one that made things this way, the only logical conclusion is he’s evil, Abrahamic or otherwise
