Some forms of gnosticism say this
The philosophers religion.
This is definitely some shit Nietzsche would crack up high as fuck on opium. Hell im pretty sure he did.
also, if we're going by traditional religious figures. Satanism. Though modern satanism is very different. I would argue that this is more accurately described as "christian satanism" or "christo-satanism"

He said the opposite and very clearly mourns the decline in religion throughout his works. You should probably read the material before making wacko statements like this.
โGod is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?โ -Friedrich Nietzsche

I disagree, the post doesn't ask if there is a religion where there is a god who is good, with a fallen angel who is evil. Neither are they asking for one where you pray to the evil fallen angel who opposes a good principal god. They're asking for one where the principal god is evil.
I think, more specifically they're asking for the name to a belief system in which we observe the actions of the Abrahamic god and judge it to be evil.

In Christian Satanism is Jesus evil?
"Christian Satanism" isn't a thing
In Christian Satanism the Devil exists and is being worshipped. This is "classical" or "theist" Satanism where there is a belief in the existence of Satan.
Contrast that with modern atheist Satanism, where the Devil is merely a psychological symbol of rebellion, independence and freedom that serves to trigger theists while also being a representation of revolting against christan authoritarianism and, through the exploitation of rules stemming from theist-political decisionmaking, as a counter to the blatantly unconstitutional abuse of religious freedom laws for the benefit of a single religion.

Misotheism.
Miso as in misogyny, misandry, etc. Not as in the delicious fermented paste that makes a lovely soup.
Its 'god(s) exist(s) and can absolutely go fuck itself/themselves, possibly for the following reasons...'
I worship the lovely soup.
Tofu
Tofu is just cheese but like if you took away everything that's nice about cheese
Bean paste
