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.

Maybe apatheism?

It’s called pretty much every Abrahamic religion. There’s others you could pick from too though.

No they believe in god and also believe that he's good.

Epicurus already teared a hole in that argument 2300 years ago.

They don't believe it because it makes any kind of sense, so arguments against their belief mean nothing to them.

One could also ask that if they deity is so far from conventional logic that understanding its motives are impossible and/or everything is "secret" then what even is the point of worship.

I get what youre saying but unless you believe in a whole deific pantheon that spans the moral spectrum, you just cant logically label a single god-like entity as evil, as it would have no meaning without contrast.
