I don’t think that antifaith is the correct term for it.
Certainly one can have faith that a result will not occur. If it is rational then one hopes that a result does not occur. If faith is blind then one is certain that a result will not occur. Though such thoughts are obviously synonymous with their positives. For example: if one has hope for a desired result then it is clear that one also has hope that the alternatives do not happen. If one has blind faith in a result then one has blind faith that the alternative cannot happen.
If on the other hand you are referring to antifaith as a term for the blind faith in the non-existence of god, then I can assure you that it does exist. Though the term used is rather poor because religion does not have a monopoly on faith.
Mind you am I making up these definition as I go along…though they seem to fit so far.
