Is there a specific religious term for the belief "God exists and he is evil"? (lemm.ee)

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.

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

Yes, but a less powerful god may not be.

Fair enough
