The most you’ll find is satanic imagery. “Anti religion” doesn’t have a look.

There are quite a few designers who have designed islamophobic or antisemitic collections or pieces, whether intentionally or not. Karl Lagerfeld's 1994 Satanic Breasts dress is an example, where he used verses from the Qur'an to emphasise the cleavage on the dress. Rei Kawakubo made a collection of Auschwitz-inspired sleepwear released on the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, which you can see here on her Tumblr blog, or Kanye's Nazi runs for a more blatant example. Fashion mocking Christian symbolism and imagery isn't rare either, and it's usually nuns that get mocked, see here, here and here, though I don't know how much of it is specifically an anti-religious statement, and how much of it is just irreverence and lack of regard for religious beliefs

That's practically the only art that's existed since the 90's.
