@RehnSturm256 Yes, in terms of Abrahamic religion, Gnosticism is very much the arch-heresy. But the most important part that you’re missing here is that Gnosticism (usually) very much blames the Abrahamic god for the evils and deficiencies of the world, because it (usually) directly conflates Yahweh with the Demiurge/Yaldabaoth.

The part that puzzles me is this: Gnostics generally believe that Yahweh lies all throughout Genesis (for example he can’t find Adam in the Garden despite claiming to be omniscient, and doesn’t follow through on his promise killing Adam when he finds him) yet they believe his claims about being the supreme god and creator of the world, and come to the conclusion that an evil god must have created an evil world.
