But he does make it very apparent, so it's confusing to have the movie end and it look like the guy who broke every commandment died and went to hell and justice was served. Even though I know there is a sequel, just as a one shot Midnight looks like a cautionary tale.

See that's where I am - It's DEFINITELY apparent that he's working up being a sinner against all Commandants (thanks NE for stringing it together for me how it's hitting all Deadly Sins - Didn't click; makes it all the more brilliant honestly).
So it seems more like a Cautionary Tale that he gets mowed down in the end (good term, MM - That's what I was looking for), as opposed to an anti-religion statement.
Then again, I was thinking about this: He spends more time reveling in breaking the Commandments then he does in the consequence... So the emphasis is more of the anti-religion and the "consequence" is more to satiate what would be an incredibly religious and offended audience, you know? It's anti-religion that's veiled in a Cautionary Tale I wonder... But the bigger point is to get the anti-religious actions on screen...
